Installation details:

    Installation: Self-hosted Ghost, installed using ghost-cli.
    OS: Debian GNU/Linux, v11
    Node Version: v16.17.0
    Ghost Version: v5.21.0
    Ghost-CLI Version: v1.23.1
    Environment: production
    Database:  mysql-server v8.0.31-1debian11 Community Edition

Question: Is it possible to tweak Ghost so that the ADMIN interface uses the same favicon as the normal read-interface? i.e. the Publication Icon?

I have several blogs that I update - often at the same time. I have lots of tabs open - it’s the way I work. The sites all have distinctive Publication Icons - and are easy to find amidst all my open tabs.

Tabs open in Administrative mode all use the small Ghost black square / white circle - making it hard to find the specific blog in all my open tabs.

It’s not a biggie - but is there something I can do to get the Admin interface to use the Publication Icon as it’s favion.ico?

TIA

I have the same problem and have found a solution. It’s fairly straightforward, but needs updating for each version and assumes you have full control of your install, like you do. First of all upload the images to your site and copy them to /path-to-site/versions/active/core/built/admin/assets/img To follow the convention I’ve renamed mine to favicon-sitename.ico and apple-touch-icon-sitename.png. Then all you need to do is edit …/core/built/admin/index.html to the new images and the change is immediate. Remember, you’ll need to do this every time you update Ghost.

I can understand why Ghost doesn’t do this directly, but the ability to customise it like this would be helpful.
