icon: '๐ฅ',
description: 'My custom KasOS application',
version: '1.0.0',
init: function(KasOS) {
// Initialize your application
const content = this.getAppContent();
const window = KasOS.createWindow('My App', content, 400, 300);
setTimeout(() => {
this.initApp(KasOS);
}, 100);
},
getAppContent: function() {
return `<div>Your HTML content here</div>`;
