## What it is
A .NET library providing a large collection of icon packs (Material Design, FontAwesome, Octicons, and more) as XAML controls, markup extensions, and converters for WPF and UWP applications. A companion project offers the same icons for Avalonia apps.

## Use cases
- add icons to a WPF application
- use Material Design icons in XAML
- embed FontAwesome glyphs in a UWP app
- find an icon library for .NET desktop apps
- use Octicons in a Windows desktop UI
- render vector icons without image assets in WPF

## When to choose
- building WPF, UWP, or Avalonia desktop apps in C#/.NET that need a wide variety of icons
- you want icons as XAML controls with markup extensions rather than image files
- you need multiple icon sets (Material, FontAwesome, Octicons, etc.) from one dependency

## When to avoid
- building web, mobile, or non-.NET applications
- you only need a single icon as a static image file
- targeting platforms other than Windows for WPF/UWP (use the separate Avalonia packages for cross-platform)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, graphics
- domain: desktop-applications, web-design, cross-platform
- platform: windows, dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: wpf, uwp, xaml, icon-pack, material-design, fontawesome, avalonia, csharp
