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

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

Example Commands (if you have ImageMagick)

Note: The app will still work without icons, but they improve the user experience significantly!
