## Description

ConEmu is a console multiplexer and terminal emulator for Windows that organizes multiple command-line sessions into a single interface using tabs and split panes. It functions as a customizable environment for executing shells and legacy applications.

The project includes a drop-down console interface that toggles between a hidden state and a full-width top-screen overlay. It supports the execution of legacy DOS applications on modern operating systems through integrated emulation layers.

The application covers terminal customization for fonts and visual styling, window display mode management, and session organization via a flexible grid of screens. User configuration and environment variables are persisted through registry-based profile storage.
