• Configurable border styles and widths.
• Smooth opening and closing animations with adjustable speed and timing.
• Open and closing can be reversed on a click.
• Optional shadow effects.

    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setIsOpen(!isOpen)}>Toggle Curtain</button>
      <Curtain control={isOpen} setControl={setIsOpen}>
