+# Assets Directory
+
+This directory contains application assets for the Azure App Registration Manager.
+
+## Application Icon (icon.ico)
+
+To add a custom application icon:
+
+1. **Create or obtain an icon file** in `.ico` format with multiple resolutions:
+   - 16×16 pixels
+   - 32×32 pixels
+   - 48×48 pixels
+   - 256×256 pixels
+
+2. **Convert from PNG/JPG to ICO:**
+   - Use online tools like: https://convertio.co/png-ico/
+   - Or use GIMP/Photoshop with ICO plugin
+   - Or use ImageMagick: `convert icon.png -define icon:auto-resize=256,48,32,16 icon.ico`
+
+3. **Place the file here:**
+   - Save as: `assets/icon.ico`
+   - The build script (`build.rs`) will automatically embed it into the executable
+
+4. **No icon yet?**
+   - The application will build successfully without an icon
+   - The executable will use the default Windows application icon
+   - You can add an icon later and rebuild
+
+## Icon Design Suggestions
+
+For an Azure App Registration Manager, consider:
+- Azure logo colors (blue tones)
+- Key or lock symbol (for security/secrets)
+- Cloud + gear/settings icon
+- Simplified "A" + "R" monogram
+
+## Testing the Icon
+
+After adding `icon.ico`:
+1. Run: `cargo build --release`
+2. Check the executable properties in Windows Explorer
+3. Right-click `target\release\azure-app-manager.exe` → Properties
+4. The icon should appear in the Properties dialog and in Windows Explorer
+
+## Background Images (Optional)
+
+You can also place background images here:
+- `background.png` or `background.jpg`
+- Referenced in `config.toml`
+- Displayed in the application UI if configured
