The application offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, including a Windows toolbar icon, functional \"Copy\" buttons with icons, and a clean, fixed window size layout for consistent use. It’s ideal for users who need a simple and effective unit converter.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Unit Conversion**: Convert between multiple units in categories like Length, Weight, Temperature, and Volume.\n- **Copy Functionality**: Copy input and output values to the clipboard using copy buttons with icons.\n- **Fixed Window Size**: Ensures the layout remains consistent, with no resizing allowed.\n- **Windows Toolbar Icon**: Displays a custom icon on the toolbar and title bar.\n- **Stylish Interface**: Clean design with rounded input fields, well-structured layout, and hover effects on buttons.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n![App Icon](https://github.com/NSTechBytes/Projects-Templates/blob/main/Applications/Unit%20Converter/Unit%20Converter.png)\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.x\n- PyQt5\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Clone this repository:\n\n    ```bash\n    git clone https://github.com/NSTechBytes/Unit-Converter.git\n    ```\n\n2. Install the required dependencies:\n\n    ```bash\n    pip install PyQt5\n    ```\n\n3. Download the icons:\n   - Place `Unit Converter.png` and `copy.png` in the same directory as the Python script.\n\n4. Run the application:\n\n    ```bash\n    python Unit-Converter.py\n    ```\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Enter the value you want to convert in the input field.\n2. Select the **Unit Type** (Length, Weight, Temperature, or Volume) from the dropdown.\n3. Choose the **From** and **To** units.\n4. The converted value will appear in the output field.\n5. Click the **Copy** button next to the input or output field to copy the respective value to the clipboard.\n\n## Contributing\n\nFeel free to submit a pull request or file an issue if you find bugs or have suggestions for improvements.
