[Geoserver-users] How to change favicon of geoserver?

[Michal Zimmermann]

Hi when I run website from data_dir/www, it automatically comes with
geoserver's favicon (red letter "I" on blue background). Is there a
way to change it? I can't find the icon file anywhere in the geoserver
directory.

directory.

It is stored deep in one of the GeoServer jars, in this location:

https://github.com/opengeo/geoserver-2.1.x/blob/09e4443eaf6922f5483f5d74b1aff288a3371c65/web/core/src/main/java/org/geoserver/web/favicon.ico

If you add a new icon in
geoserver/WEB-INF/classes/org/geoserver/web/favicon.ico,
restart the server and refresh the browser you should get the new icon pop
up

Cheers
Andrea

Umair,

to follow Andrea's instructions, make an "org" folder inside "classes",
then a "geoserver" folder inside "org", then a "web" folder inside
"geoserver", then place your new favicon.ico in the innermost folder
like this:

WEB-INF/classes/org/geoserver/web/favicon.ico

Then restart tomcat.

What you are doing is placing your favicon on the Java classpath as
/org/geoserver/web/favicon.ico . Because the classes directory is read
earlier, you are overriding the default resource shipped with GeoServer,
without having to edit the jar file.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Dear Ben,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried create all those
directories and place my favicon over there, restarted the server, but no
changes happened.
I am not interested to change the favicon, my real objective is
to change the logo of geoserver which is displayed on the top left corner of
main page where geoserver ask to insert username and password. kindly
explain to me how can i do that.

Regards Umair.

Umair,

the GeoServer logo is /org/geoserver/web/img/logo.png
in gs-web-core.jar (web-core.jar in older versions) in WEB-INF/lib.

You can either edit the jar file or build from source (see the developer
guide).

GeoServer has no user interface for "skinning" (changing the style) of
its administrative interface. Typical use of GeoServer is to provide
services that are consumed via other portals that apply their own skin.

Kind regards,
Ben.
