FAQ 🤔

How do I add my own icons?

Just add them to "Stargrid/icons/links/". Now add the filename + extension to your settings.js file.
In my case I used the 48x48px icons from materialdesignicons.com or made my own.
Different resolutions might look strange. I am working on a fix for this.

How do I add a background?

Place your desired images inside the "Stargrid/wallpaper/" folder.
Now reference them inside your settings.js. Remember to include the extension (.jpg / .png / etc.).

Can you add feature xyz?

Maybe. You can let me know by submitting a feature request via the "Issues" tab.

I don't need 12 links. / I need more than 12!

You can specify how many columns you want within your settings.js file.
The total number of tiles is dictated by the number of links you specify.
