#### TC Window Zones - Visual screen zone editor and X11 tiling script tool

TC Window Zones is a visual screen layout designer, monitor geometry inspector,
and X11 window tiling script generator for Linux desktops.

An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys FancyZones, built natively
with Python and Qt5 to help organize multi-window workflows with pixel accuracy.

Key Features:

* Real Monitor & Display Detection: Reads connected screens, resolutions, work areas,
  refresh rates, and DPI scaling factors via Qt screen APIs and Linux /sys/class/drm.
* Interactive Visual Zone Canvas: Generate Columns, Rows, Priority Grid, and Focus
  templates, or interactively split and merge custom screen zones in real time.
* Precision Gap & Margin Controls: Adjust outer work-area margins and inner zone
  padding in pixels with live visual geometry previews.
* JSON Layout Preset Manager: Save, load, import, duplicate, and manage persistent
  JSON zone presets and per-monitor bindings inside the user home configuration folder.
* Window Pixel-Geometry Calculator & X11 Exporter: Compute exact X, Y, Width, and
  Height coordinates and export executable wmctrl/xdotool shell scripts, CSV, or JSON.
