| 51 | +## 🚀 Getting Started |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Prerequisites |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed: |
| 56 | +- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v18 or higher) |
| 57 | +- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) or [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) |
| 58 | +- Google Chrome browser |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Installation |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +1. **Clone the repository** |
| 63 | + ```bash |
| 64 | + git clone https://github.com/mohammadumar-dev/dwui-new-tab.git |
| 65 | + cd dwui-new-tab |
| 66 | + ``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +2. **Install dependencies** |
| 69 | + ```bash |
| 70 | + npm install |
| 71 | + # or |
| 72 | + yarn install |
| 73 | + ``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +3. **Build the extension** |
| 76 | + ```bash |
| 77 | + npm run build |
| 78 | + # or |
| 79 | + yarn build |
| 80 | + ``` |
| 81 | + This creates a `dist` folder with your extension files. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +4. **Load the extension in Chrome** |
| 84 | + - Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/` |
| 85 | + - Enable **Developer mode** (toggle in the top-right corner) |
| 86 | + - Click **Load unpacked** |
| 87 | + - Select the `dist` folder from your project directory |
| 88 | + - Your new tab is now active! 🎉 |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +## 🛠️ Development |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### Run in Development Mode |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +```bash |
| 95 | +npm run dev |
| 96 | +# or |
| 97 | +yarn dev |
| 98 | +``` |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +This starts the Vite development server. You can view your changes at `http://localhost:5173`. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +> **Note:** Some Chrome API features (like search) won't work in dev mode. Build and load the extension to test these features. |

| 128 | +## 🎨 Customization |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### Change Aurora Colors |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +Edit the color stops in `App.tsx`: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +```tsx |
| 135 | +<Aurora |
| 136 | + colorStops={["#3A29FF", "#FF94B4", "#FF3232"]} // Change these hex colors |
| 137 | + blend={0.5} |
| 138 | + amplitude={1} |
| 139 | + speed={0.35} |
| 140 | +/> |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +### Adjust Clock Timezone |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +Modify the timezone prop in `App.tsx`: |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +```tsx |
| 148 | +<DigitalClock |
| 149 | + timezone="America/New_York" // Change to your timezone |
| 150 | + hour12={true} // Set false for 24-hour format |
| 151 | +/> |
| 152 | +``` |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +### Add Custom Shortcuts |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +The shortcuts are stored locally in the browser. You can add, edit, or delete shortcuts directly from the interface using the grid layout. |
