Fireworks users don’t need to feel left out. Or at least when it comes to the feed icon.
Previously only available for the Big Snobbish Graphic Editors (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), the color of your feed icon can now be customized using Macromedia Fireworks. You can download the file here: feed-icon-chette
In case you didn’t know …
A feed icon is placed on websites (or content items) to indicate that the content is also available via web syndication (“feeds”). It was originally created for Mozilla Firefox’s Live Bookmarks, but has been proposed to be used universally for feeds. Take note that it is meant to be used for open formats (e.g., RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, etc.)
Although the feed icon is not restricted to one standard color, it is still highly encouraged that you use its canonical color: orange. Color is a visual cue, and aids in the usability of websites.
