## Description

win11React is a web-based emulation of a modern desktop operating system environment built using React. It replicates the visual design, taskbar, and start menu of Windows 11 to create a browser-hosted workspace.

The system features a customizable theme that allows users to apply custom backgrounds and styles to the workstation. Access to the environment is controlled through a simulated startup sequence and lock screen for session security management.

The interface includes a desktop shell with draggable and resizable application windows and integrated system applications such as a terminal and file explorer. These tools are managed through a central state and event system to coordinate window focus and taskbar activity.
