## 🛠️ Adding Custom Apps

To add a new app, register it in the APPS array and update the renderApp function:

// Step 1: Update APPS for the OS to recognise the app

const APPS = {
    my-app: { name:'App-Name',icon:'lucide-icon-name, w:--, h:--, pinned:false/true },
}
//Step 2: Now the renderApp section for the app to render the windows.
