- Size: 16x16 or 32x32 pixels

## Design Suggestions

### Color Palette (from widget)

- Light Purple: #a78bfa
- Blue: #3b82f6

### Icon Ideas
1. **Letter "C"** in gradient circle
2. **Chat bubble** with "C" inside
3. **Brain/AI symbol** in purple
4. **Minimalist robot** head
5. **Abstract neural network** pattern

## Temporary Solution

Until you create custom icons, you can use:
- Placeholder icon.ico from any Electron template
- Or remove icon references from `main.js` temporarily

```javascript
// In main.js, comment out:
// tray = new Tray(path.join(__dirname, 'assets/tray-icon.png'));
```
