## Description

React95 is a React UI component library and themed framework designed to emulate the aesthetic of a nineties desktop operating system. It provides a collection of reusable interface elements that allow developers to build web applications with a nostalgic visual style.

The library functions as a design system centered on a Windows 95 theme. It utilizes a centralized theme provider to manage global color palettes and styling across the application.

The framework covers retro UI development through a set of pre-styled components and themed interface design tools. These capabilities enable the creation of websites that mimic legacy software interfaces.
