This is purely aesthetic, but the paraview discourse favicon has a white background that looks kinda ugly. The VTK discourse favicon (the tab to the left) is fine.

Could a site admin change this to one with a transparent background?

This is an old topic, but I believe it has been done (at least it appears that way in Chrome on macOS). I may have been the one that did it - can’t remember.
