Alternate Favicon for the Admin?

Hi!

Is there a way to provide an alternate favicon for Admin pages?

I often have a zillion tabs open, looking for a quick way to distinguish between tabs containing site pages and tabs containing Admin pages.

My guess is I could provide an alternate favicon path in the admin index somehow? Or maybe I could simply drop a dif favicon into the folder where the admin index lives (so I didn't have to alter any core)?

Dunno. Anybody done this?

Thanks!

What you're requesting is "difficult" because of the way that the admin-level tools/pages work. Each page/tool controls its own <head> information, so there would need to be a way to inject that updated favicon's name into all.

Exactly. lat9 is right. It's ugly:
You'd need to edit (nearly) all of your /admin/*.php files (but not likely the files in any admin subdirs) and search for this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/stylesheet.css">

and add this on a new line below it:

<link rel="icon" href="admin_favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="admin_favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

... or some variation of that.
Remember, every browser handles favicons with its own quirks, so you might need to flush cache, make bookmarks, delete history for old admin pages in your browser history, and experiment with various .ico file formats.

Yuck, what a pain.

As convenient as it would be, looks like it's not worth the effort.

If I end up doing it, I'll come back and list off the steps and files to edit.

Thanks for the input you guys!

FYI, it'll be a breeze in v160 ... as we've already centralized that part of the code. (Introduced here: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/commit/cf7d123f97201ace31ef35f04c695feef6af70f4 )
