Summary of the issue you are facing:

When I open the Webinterface, the only Favicon I get is the Icon of the current page. Switching from Dashboard to Calender to Photos changes the Favicon to the respective icon. The Dashboard-Favicon is also now in my Browsers Bookmark Bar, instead of my own.

However, in the Admin Settings, I do have a custom Favicon set (and I had that for years). I tried deleting it, and then re-setting: no help.

Screenshots as examples (Dashboard and Calender) are provided (the Calender month is in english even though my server is in german, but that seems to be a different issue)

I also deactivated the custom-per-user Design, just to make sure it’s not that.

Steps to replicate it

  1. Open the Web UI

  2. See the Favicon not being the one set in Settings

  3. go to Theming settings

  4. see your Favicon set

  5. delete, re-upload

  6. go back to the Dashboard: no custom Favicon

nothing here either :(

Configuration

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

occ config:list system
