+ Change the color and blur strength by setting it on the `Theme Engine` section.
+ Supports #RGB, #RRGGBBAA, and #RRGGBB.

#### Adding more buttons on the web menu

Add more buttons or web shortcuts in web menu by editing the `webSites` array in `js/sites-list.js`. Make sure to put an icon with `svg` format for the shortcut in `assets/webcons/` folder. 

```js
let webSites = [
	{
		site: 'Reddit',
		icon: 'reddit',
		url: 'https://reddit.com/',
		category: 'social'
	},
	...
]
```

#### Adding more buttons on the dock

To add more web shortcuts/buttons in the dock, you have to edit the `dockSites` array in `js/sites-list.js`. Make sure to put an icon with `svg` format for the shortcut in `assets/webcons/` folder.

```js
let dockSites = [
	{
		site: 'Reddit',
		icon: 'reddit',
		url: 'https://reddit.com/'
	},
	...
]
```

#### Set your OpenWeatherMap API key

Setting your OpenWeatherMap credential is a breeze. 

+ If you don't have an API key, follow this guide:

	How to get a credentials for the weather forecast?

	- OpenWeatherMap is the weather provider, so go to OpenWeatherMap's [website](https://home.openweathermap.org/).
	- Register, log-in, and then go [here](https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys) to generate your very own API keys.

+ After getting you API key, you have to get your City ID.
+ Put your API key and City ID in the `Weather Settings`.
+ Apply.

#### Changing the default search engine

Google is the default search engine of the search bar, if you want to change it DuckDuckGo or something:

+ Open the dashboard by clicking the settings button on the dock.
+ Find the `Search Engine` section and select your preferred search engine.
+ Set it as default.


#### Changing the profile picture

+ Replace the `user.png` image file in `/assets/`.


#### Keybindings

+ You can add, replace, or remove a keybinding by editing `js/keybindings.js`.

### Important Note

+ If you're using firefox and blur effect is not enabled, open `about:config`, accept the risks, find `layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled` set it to true to enable it. Refresh the startpage.

+ The code could be better, this is my first time writing a startpage from the ground up. I will improve this from time to time.

+ Found a bug, error or do you have a suggestion? Feel free to open an issue or pull request.

+ Tested only on Firefox and Google Chrome.
