Framer Adds Themed Favicons and Apple Touch Icon Support

Framer has released its September update, introducing several key features and improvements to enhance the web design experience. The update brings themed favicons that can adapt to light and dark modes, allowing designers to showcase their logos across the full color spectrum. Users can now also implement Apple touch icons, making sites more visually appealing when added to iOS homescreens.

The property panel received significant enhancements, including the ability to "zero-out" values and scrub split inputs via labels. Interface improvements include better dark mode colors, enhanced zoom controls, and improved slideshow performance. The update also brings better accessibility features, with improved handling of image alt tags and SVG aria-hidden attributes.

A substantial portion of the update focuses on performance and user experience refinements. Video loading has been optimized to only load thumbnails when nearly visible, and CMS functionality has been enhanced with improved page switching and rich text editor performance. The update addresses over 20 bug fixes, ranging from text balance issues to menu behavior improvements, making this one of Framer's most comprehensive updates to date.
