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.

I have created some custom apps for facebook page, and also added in as a facebook page tab.
The Question is: I want to increase the tabs on facebook page, right now facebook is giving on 4 tabs 'Timeline', 'About','Photos' or 'Reviews' and 'More'.
I can arrange the tabs and move my custom tabs on the top but I want the more tabs(6 or 7) then there should be 'More...'.
Is it possible in facebook.
No, this is not possible. Also, the maximum amount of tabs that are visible (including "more") is 12. You can add more as Admin and you will see them all, but only the first 12 will be shown to a User.
I am adding tabs to my page in fb. The problem is my customers do not notice that they need to click on the arrow icon to see all the tabs. Is there a way or setting that allows me to show all tabs on my page?
No, there is no way. Reorder your tabs so that the ones you really want your customer to see are displayed first. Another thing you can do is modify your cover photo in a way that indicates to your customers that there are cool tabs there. Facebook discourages using the cover photo for advertisements, so try to keep it classy.
Can anybody guide about how
does the new FB timeline incorporate the iframe for its pages.
Or is there any new stuffs coming in to replace these stufs?
The way you create and display your iFrame will be the same, except for a size change.
The new iFrame will be 810px wide, instead of 520px - existing tabs (apps) that are set to 520px will just be centered on the page, so they aren't "broken." Giving us 290 extra pixels is great!
You can no longer set a tab as "default landing page". Instead, users always see the main Timeline view and have to actively click through to custom apps.
To edit which apps you display, click the drop-down icon to the right of the tiles, click the ‘+’ button to import your custom apps, and then hover over them and click the pencil to swap them around.
If you have a contest or something on a tab which you would have wanted set as the "default landing page", you can create a post on your page which has a few sentences advertising such, with a link to the tab. You can then "pin" this post to the top of your page, so it will be the first thing users read. "Pinning" and "starring" on your Page act exactly like they do on your personal timeline.
Here's a good explanation of all changes
Is it possible to control a tab icon?
over tab settings?
over an API?
Why I'm asking: I'm trying to implement top company information into tabs. It's just one application. I can manually change the icon if I create a new application for each tab.
Is it possible to create one application that controls loaded iframe URL and change the icon from tab settings?
I don't think this is possible. Have a look at the tabs section in the page document, you can only update three parameters: position, custom_name and is_non_connection_landing_tab
I am building a web application that is to be run by adding the app to the home screen. Currently it has a list of users, clicking on a user takes you to a detail screen for that user and on that screen is a notes link to take the user to another screen with a grid of notes and a text box to add more notes.
When any links are clicked/tapped, the link is opened in Safari, not the current full screen Safari instance. I tried setting the target of the link to _self, but this had no effect.
Any ideas?
I learned a full screen iPhone webapp can only be a single web page. Any link you try to open will launch Safari instead of replacing the current page. To combat this, I used asp.net postbacks with panels to hide/load/show requested data.
I use target="_webapp" and it works just use for example <a href="http://your.link" target="_webapp"> and it gonna open the link without exit landscape (full screen) i dont know why but with some of my webapps works and sometimes dont.
