Hi
you can add favicon.png to templates/[your template] folder
then edit html.php(librariesjoomladocumenthtml folder)
Search those lines:

$icon = $dir . 'favicon.ico';
if (file_exists( $icon ))
{
$path = str_replace( JPATH_BASE . DS, '', $dir );
$path = str_replace( '\', '/', $path );
$this->addFavicon( JURI::base(true).'/'.$path . 'favicon.ico' );
break;
}
Change favicon.ico to favicon.png

Hi Locombianos,

Maybe you have a good reason to want to change your faveicon to a .png format, but why don’t you just create it in the proper .ico format? Then you don’t have to hack the core code.

You can use Dynamic Drive’s free faveicon generator to upload your file and create it for you.
