Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I believe that I have a favicon.ico file size related issue with the admin menu.
The drupal default favicon.ico will show in menu but my favicon.ico won't.
My favicon.ico is 363kb and works for everything else.
It there a way to resolve this restriction??

sunI don't know. As long as your favicon is in the expected format that all browsers understand, there should not be an issue.
You could try to display your favicon directly in the browser by accessing its URL directly. If it properly shows up there, then it also shows up properly in admin_menu.

westsyde commentedI did what you suggested and discovered that for some reason my favicon.ico which is 16x16 when checking from the file properties directly, which goes to 28 x 30 pixels when viewed via IE7.
My Favicon does however works as the browser page favicon, which requires a 16x16 favicon file. Weird.
I attached the favicon in question so you can test it if you want.

sunThe fact that you considered to attach your favicon as compressed archive tells me that something _must be wrong_ with your icon file.

westsyde commentedI actually attached it zipped up as it did not appear to be an accepted file type according to what I read.
For example:
The maximum upload size is 1 MB. Only files with the following extensions may be uploaded: jpg jpeg gif png txt xls pdf ppt pps odt ods odp gz tgz patch diff zip test info po pot.
As you can see *.ico does not appear in the allowed file types list.
This issue is not related to the favicon.
The issue is browser related.
I tried Mozilla Firefox 3 and problem solved.
Hope this helps someone.
