I created a desktop icon from a bookmark for Wikipedia.com. Here is a screenshot of the result:

The blue background doesn't look great, I'm wondering if this should be transparent. Here is the image that I think it's using for the wikipedia icon:

apple-touch-icon.png

Which is being pulled from by this code in wikipedia's page:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="//en.wikipedia.org/apple-touch-icon.png" />

The Netflix icon that looks like a banner is a link to Netflix.com, and it has the look I would prefer in the wikipedia icon.

Is there any way I can change the icon?

FWIW the wikipedia page for that image file en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-mobile-icon.png specifically describes it as "The Wikipedia "puzzle ball" logo with a blue background" so I don't think that it is meant to be transparent – GAThrawn Dec 18 '11 at 16:31

Bit of a kludge, but you could create a web page which sends you to Wikipedia and has an icon according to your taste, and bookmark that.
