Not only that, we need a icon on the left pane just like Gitpod Theia.

@kittaakos can you perhaps share on how gitpod achieved this? The only way I could see updating the icon in the menu-bar was by editing the css (theia-icon) from core.

I was able to test and add a custom favicon to the main application by updating
the frontend-generator.ts. Where we generate the <head></head> portion, I included the following link tag.
<link rel="icon" href={url} type="image/x-icon">
The only issue I had was getting the image served by the server. When using an external image (such as one hosted already) the icon was displayed correctly.
The next step would be to find out how to properly serve internal icons as a favicon and make it much easier for extenders to update it.

Thank you for opening this issue. Has there been any update on making it easy for extensions to set a favicon?

For anyone that is desperate for a favicon, here's a little command you can run to add a favicon to your theia web ide:
cd your_theia_folder/lib && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theia-ide/theia-apps/master/theia-electron/resources/icon.ico && sed -i 's/<meta charset/<link rel="icon" href=".\/icon.ico" type="image\/x-icon">\n <meta charset=/' index.html
