## Overview

This repository is a collection of Windows-inspired desktop themes for Linux and GNOME-compatible systems. A user chooses a theme variant, and the desktop environment uses its included toolkit, shell, and window-decoration resources to render the corresponding look. The tree shows these resource formats and destinations; no source excerpts were available to verify finer-grained loading or installation behavior.
