Dynamically generated favicon

问题

Would it be possible using only JavaScript and HTML to dynamically generate a favicon, using the current page's favicon as a background, and a random number in the foreground?

For example, lets say the current favicon looks similar to this:

======================
====XXXXXXXXXXXXXX====
====X=================
====X=================
====X=====XXXXXXXX====
====X============X====
====X============X====
====XXXXXXXXXXXXXX====
======================

If possible, how would I get it to look something similar to this using only JavaScript and HTML:

======================
====XXXXXXXXXXXXXX====
====X=================
====X=================
====X=====XXXXXXXX====
====X=========--111--=
====X=========--1-1--=
====XXXXXXXXXX----1--=
==============--1111-=

map:
= : white background
x : Original Favicon image
- : Red generated image with a number
1 : White text

Ideas:

Canvas?
Data Uri's?

EDIT: Got it working with

var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
    canvas.width = 16;canvas.height = 16;
    var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
    var img = new Image();
    img.src = '/favicon.ico';
    img.onload = function() {
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        ctx.fillStyle = "#F00";
        ctx.fillRect(10, 7, 6, 8);
        ctx.fillStyle = '#FFFFFF';
        ctx.font = 'bold 10px sans-serif';
        ctx.fillText('2', 10, 14);

        var link = document.createElement('link');
        link.type = 'image/x-icon';
        link.rel = 'shortcut icon';
        link.href = canvas.toDataURL("image/x-icon");
        document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);
    }

You can actually run chrome and paste this:

javascript: var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');canvas.width = 16;canvas.height = 16;var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');var img = new Image();img.src = '/favicon.ico';img.onload = function() {ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);ctx.fillStyle = "#F00";ctx.fillRect(10, 7, 6, 8);ctx.fillStyle = '#FFFFFF';ctx.font = 'bold 10px sans-serif';ctx.fillText('2', 10, 14);var link = document.createElement('link');link.type = 'image/x-icon';link.rel = 'shortcut icon';link.href = canvas.toDataURL("image/x-icon");document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);}

into the browser and see it in action.

You might take a look at this question, which discusses how to change the favicon dynamically. Also here is a site that claims to play a game in the favicon using only JavaScript, canvas, and the data URI, which should work in all modern browsers except IE. Not sure if that would fulfill your requirements or not, but you can try reverse engineering how it works.

Here's an SO answer that explains how to use the canvas element to read the favicon data and get the image data out, which then can be modified and composed into a new icon.

回答3:

I don't know about doing it all in the browser, but it would be easy to have a server endpoint that accepted parameters in the URL and returned a composed favicon. Then Javascript could modify the favicon url to get the image it wanted.

回答4:

favicon.js does exactly this. This library can display a counter in the bottom right corner of the favicon, among other features.
