To add your own Language to this list, edit the hello.js file. If your language uses unicode characters, you need to escape them before putting them in.

Customization

Changing theme

To customize the theme, you'll have to edit the style.css file. The :root element holds common colors. If you know how to write CSS you may also change other elements to your liking.

Adding backgrounds

1. Add a .jpg file to the img/backgrounds directory.
2. Append the name of the file (without extention) to the images array inside updateBackground()
