XColumn is a simple multi-column client inspired by the old TweetDeck.
It utilizes WebView2 (Edge rendering engine) to display multiple timelines 
efficiently without using the X (Twitter) API.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✨ Key Features
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Multi-Column Display: Add/rearrange columns for Home, Notifications, Search, 
  Lists, Users, and Trends.
* Column Customization: Individually adjust width, update intervals, image size 
  (zoom level), and display settings (e.g., Hide RT) for each column.
* Reliable Volume Control: Directly controls the process volume at the OS mixer 
  level, ensuring volume and mute settings are applied reliably regardless of X (Twitter) specifications.
* Profiles: Completely isolated environments for multiple accounts or purposes.
* Force Video Autoplay Block: Strongly blocks video autoplay regardless of X settings.
* Multi-language Support: Supports switching between Japanese and English.
* Extension Support: Load Chrome extensions like Ad-blockers or style modifiers.
* NG Word Functionality: Mute posts containing specific keywords.
* Focus Mode: Switch to a single view when clicking a tweet for details.
* Off-Timer Functionality: Automatically shuts down the app when inactive.
* Multi-account support: You can add timelines from other accounts as columns.
                        * This is an experimental feature, so please turn it ON in Settings → Other to enable it.
                        *2 To prevent accidental likes and retweets, focus mode will be forcibly turned off when clicking on media from another account.
