-    <strong>Interactive Color Range Analyzer</strong> is being reimagined with a <em>PySide6</em> user interface.<br/>
+    <strong>Interactive Color Range Analyzer (ICRA)</strong><br/>
-    This branch focuses on building a native desktop shell with modern window controls before porting the color-analysis features.
+    A fully-featured, PySide6-powered desktop application for precise color matching, image analysis, and statistics generation.

-## Current prototype
+## Features
-- Custom frameless window with minimise / maximise / close controls that hook into Windows natively
+- **High-Performance Image Processing:** Native, vectorized NumPy operations for lightning-fast HSV conversion and color matching.
-- Dark themed layout and basic image preview powered by Qt
+- **Batch Folder Processing:** Load a folder of images and instantly export an aggregated `icra_stats.csv` with localized formatting (dot or comma decimals depending on your language).
-- “Open image” workflow that displays the selected asset scaled to the viewport
+- **Eyedropper Tool:** Quickly pick target matching colors directly from the image canvas.
-
+- **Advanced Selection:** Support for exclusion zones (rectangles and free-draw polygons) overlaid on the image, all dynamically rendered via `QGraphicsView`.
-> ⚠️ Legacy Tk features (sliders, exclusions, folder navigation, stats) are not wired up yet. The goal here is to validate the PySide6 shell first.
+- **Modern UI & UX:** 
+  - Drag-and-drop support for files and folders.
+  - Custom dark and light themes with native-feeling borderless titlebars and a categorized menu bar.
+  - Window size and position persistence between launches.
+  - Keyboard shortcuts for rapid workflow.
+- **Configurable:** Uses `config.toml` to drive everything from overlay matching colors to default sliders and application language (`en`/`de`).
 
 ## Requirements
 - Python 3.11+
 - [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for dependency management
-- Windows 10/11 recommended (PySide6 build included; Linux/macOS should work but are untested in this branch)
+- Works across Windows, macOS, and Linux (requires PySide6 and numpy)

-The app launches directly as a PySide6 GUI—no browser or local web server involved. Use the “Open Image…” button to load a file and test resizing/snap behaviour.
+## Running the Test Suite
+The core image processing logic and UI data models are rigorously tested using `pytest`.
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests/ -v
+```
 
-## Roadmap (branch scope)
+## Project Layout
-1. Port hue/saturation/value controls to Qt widgets
-2. Re-implement exclusion drawing using QPainter overlays
-3. Integrate existing image-processing logic (`app/logic`) with the new UI

+## Development Notes
+- The legacy `Tkinter` codebase has been completely removed in favor of `PySide6`. 
 - Quick syntax check: `uv run python -m compileall app main.py`
-- Uploaded images are not persisted; the preview uses Qt pixmaps only.
+- Contributions welcome!
-- Contributions welcome—please target this branch with PySide6-specific improvements.
