There are bigger problems in the world than this

That's clearly true. But if you are like me and tend to have dozens of tabs open, the favicon change makes scanning for Gmail a lot harder which is annoying. That it is also ugly is adding insult to injury.

Or you can just use this awesome userscript (screenhost are dead btw ..) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24430

Seems like a lot of extra work rather than just clicking a checkbox.

You just need to click a button to install it.

Oh the ugly spanner icon turned up on my works gmail a week or two back and its been bugging me to bits!

Why was it showing a spanner? It made no sense to me. A bug in gmail perhaps? But if it affects so many people, why haven't google noticed it before then?

I noticed this about a week back in our business account. If you view the page source, the favicon actually points to a favicon in a your company's folder (for Google Apps). I have a feeling they will allow us to customize the icon shortly from their admin panel.
