How can I tell Google Chrome to use the larger icon for application shortcuts?


Google Chrome allows you to save websites as application shortcuts with an icon on the user's desktop. Unfortunately the icon it adds to the desktop is a scaled up version of the 16x16 version. The icon is an icon file that contains images in several resolutions and is saved in the root of the website. No code in the header of the site mentions the favicon. The icon file itself seem to work. IE is displaying the larger icons just fine.

the icon and the result

Has anybody had the same problem?
