## What it is
A personal configuration guide and dotfiles repository for customizing the look of Windows 11, featuring a Wezterm terminal setup, GlazeWM tiling window manager config, and a Zebar top bar widget. It documents the tools and config files the author uses to achieve a polished desktop aesthetic.
