🍋 MangoWC Configuration — by @bautitobal

My personal configuration for MangoWC — a minimal, lightweight (as dwl) Wayland compositor written in C.
This setup follows a Nord-inspired Detective aesthetic, optimized for productivity, clarity, and smooth tiling behavior similar to Hyprland.

• Nord Detective color palette
• Smart tiling layout (Hyprland-like)
