As you already know from this link http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ you may create Facebook Like button. But...
When I choose 'layout style' to something else than 'standard', little 'thumb up' icon inside button is changed to Facebook logo.
Is there a way to have 'layout style' set to 'box_count' and to little 'thumb up' icon remain inside button?
Nope, there isn't. What you see is what you get for those social plugins Facebook has designed.
However, you can log a bug (and have it marked as a wishlist item) about this at http://developers.facebook.com/bugs.

I looked around the web and found some vague answers that this cannot be done, I just want to make sure before I trash this whole idea.
So after I click on the facebook like button a "popup" appears below the like button asking me to post to my page. How can I make this appear above the like button since my button is at the bottom of the page.
Thanks!
I would like to remove the social text from the facebook like button in order to fit into the width I have spare left but I can't find how on the facebook developers site
So what I want to remove is "Be the first of your friends to like this." text
As seen here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Then change the layout to button_count and uncheck send button
I just added a Facebook like button to my website, just the most basic one, but you can't select to hide the "Sign Up to see what your friends like." text.
Because the area for the button is so small, I don't want this text, as it overlaps with other text next to it.
Is there a way to hide this part?
I basically just want the like button, with the same functionality.
You would have probably figured it out by now but for others who haven't and reach this question, try data-layout="button_count".
You can play around here for more options: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
You can add layout="simple" (XFBML), or "data-layout"="simple" for HTML5 to the tag.
That'll show just a like button, with no count, faces or nonsense :)
I have add like button on my webpage www.zabavax.com (iframe). Count is work ok, but like button doesn't share post (link) on Facebook.
P.S. Like button on the left side and after post. When i click on right or after post like button liked link dont show on my Timeline and on friends news feed
I think Facebook has changed the behaviour of the like button. A link will be shared ONLY if the user adds a comment.
Your like button in the top right corner of your URL functions correctly.
I was able to post to my profile when I clicked on it.
I believe your issue is with the first-time popup that appears (also with its own like button) When I clicked that like button the popup disappeared and I didn't manage to post to my profile.
How can I change the FBML tabs Icon from the default one to a custom one, please?
It does have an icon with the new layout and it looks terrible.
Found this video about changing your own app's icon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIcG5VekxM0
But that doesn't apply to the FBML tab (since it is not my app).
As far as I know, FBML tabs doesn't have an icon, just text.
Maybe do you want to change your facebook app icon that appears on the user's app menu on the sidebar?
If it's this, you can change it on the app settings, there are two images to upload: one will appear on the permissions dialog and the other is the 16x16px that I've mentioned before.
I don't exactly have an answer but because my question is exactly the same as yours, I thought I'd add on here. But do tell me if I shouldn't be doing this and I'll remove it immediately.
I see ChickFilA uses customised icons for their tabs. Wonder if they developed their own app(s) thus the ability to customise the icon(s), or if there really is a way to customise FBML icons.
There's no icon for FBML tabs. But there's an icon for an application based Facebook tab. Here's how.
Create a Facebook app that can be integrated as a tab (Choose Page Tab Type as FBML)
E.g. Chick Fila created Spicy Biscuit app http://www.facebook.com/#!/ChickfilA?sk=app_119130604778515 that actually was later rendered as a Facebook tab (named Spicy Biscuit)
When you create an app, you can add an icon.
Submit your app to the Facebook app directory (Your application must have at least 5 total users or 10 monthly active users before you can submit it)
Now, go to the application page. E.g. Chick-fila Spicy Buscuit http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=167096109994873
Click Add to my page. Add it to the page you want to the tab embedded.
Done.
