 /// Additional methods on `Icon` that are specific to Windows.

+/// Windows icons can be created from files, or from the [`embedded resources`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/about-resource-files).
+///
+/// The `ICON` resource definition statement use the following syntax:
+/// ```rc

+/// ```
+/// `nameID` is a unique name or a 16-bit unsigned integer value identifying the resource,

+///
+/// More information about the `ICON` resource can be found at [`Microsoft Learn`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/icon-resource) portal.
