Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since the mention of a tray icon and the new egui project, I was wondering what the icon would be.

I imagine the egui would be opened by the tray icon and the "Restart" and "Exit" options would find a place there as well.

I am sorry in advance if the icon on the website was meant to be for Komorebi, I was not sure and my intention is not to replace it. If there is meaning or story to it, I would be interested to know. (I can kind of see the "K" and the "o" if I tilt my head)

Describe the solution you'd like
A custom "community powered" icon would make sense.

Since "Komorebi" means "the play of sunlight through leaves", I imagine the letter "K", shaped like a tree trunk and a single branch with the rays of the sun. I think it could be made into a simple icon at any size.

I lack the talent to use Gimp, but the lost artist in me made an attempt as a sketch. I am sure someone could do a better job, I am not sure how these things are done.


Describe alternatives you've considered
Since there is an icon on the website, that can be used.


My idea in a sketch

On a second thought, this icon does not represent the program, but the name. However, if anyone wants to make this icon, feel free to do so.

There is probably something more fitting out there :)
