Not sure we want transparency. My address bar background color is black.
With a black text on transparent background I will no more see the W :/

Since you are using a custom skin you can use a custom inverted favicon.ico.
Most people do not have a black taskbar.

here you go: http://www.qwikly.com/img/favicon/invertedfavicon.ico

Inverted favicon for those with a custom skin

Solid background is deliberate:

• Doesn't look awful in browsers that don't deal well with alpha transparency in icons
• Avoids conflicts with different background colors

Provided icon file also fails to load in Safari 2.0, may be corrupt or invalid type.

The icon file can be fixed; i'll create it on OSX at the university. It doesn't
change the problem that we have a poor favicon.

There's no problem with the current icon.

The current icon is not centered vertically and it is faint (at the least). We
are a top 50 website now (or near it) and the #1 reference site. It does not
appear as if care was put into making it which is unsatisfactory. I'll post a
fixed version (if I can duplicate the safari problem) a bit later.
