## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR updates all application manifest files across the PowerToys
codebase to use **PerMonitorV2** DPI awareness, ensuring optimal
high-DPI display support on modern Windows systems.
## Changes Made
Updated **12 manifest files** to include proper PerMonitorV2 DPI
awareness:
### Files with New DPI Support Added:
- `src/runner/PowerToys.exe.manifest` - Added complete DPI awareness
section
- `src/modules/awake/Awake/app.manifest` - Upgraded from basic
`dpiAware` to PerMonitorV2
### Files Upgraded from PerMonitor to PerMonitorV2:
- `src/modules/colorPicker/ColorPickerUI/App.manifest`
- `src/modules/MouseWithoutBorders/App/MouseWithoutBorders.exe.manifest`
### Files Enhanced for Consistency:
- `src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.exe.manifest`
- `src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/Zoomit.exe.manifest`
- All 5 cmdpal extension manifests
## Technical Implementation
All manifests now use the standardized format that provides:
1. **PerMonitorV2** as the primary DPI awareness mode for Windows 10
Anniversary Update and later
3. **`true/PM`** for backward compatibility with pre-Windows 10 systems
```xml
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true/PM</dpiAware>
<dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
```

PowerToys Source Code
Code organization
The PowerToys are split into DLLs for each PowerToy module (modules folder), and an executable (runner folder) that loads and manages those DLLs.
The settings window is a separate executable, contained in settings-ui folder. It utilizes a WebView to display an HTML-based settings window.
The common contains code for a static library with helper functions, used by both the runner and the PowerToys modules.
