Hi,

just create a theme directory: /WebContent/VAADIN/themes/mynewtheme

and place your custom favicon.ico in this directory. You also need to set theme property in your application.

public class MyNewApplication extends Application {

	@Override
	public void init() {
		...
		...
		setTheme("mynewtheme");
	}
}

Thanks Oliver,
Just to know: is there a possibility to load (programmatically) a favicon from an external location?

http://some-other-place/img/favicon

Yeah, sure you can.

It however involves extending ApplicationServlet and overriding writeAjaxPageHtmlHeader(…). There you can write your own icon links if you want to.

It sounds a little bit advanced for a Vaadin newbie like me.
But for now my curiosity have been satisfied

Reminder: The plugin for Eclipse can create your custom theme, including creating the folder mentioned above in which you may store your favicon.
