Customization

• To customize the overlay's contents, you can edit the following locations:
  • The overlay's HTML can be edited in views/overlay/overlay.ejs.
  • A default theme has been provided that requires light customization, but was designed with a specific use case in mind. A more generic theme is planned for public release in time, including less specific references to services like Discord and Humble Bundle.
  • The overlay's CSS can be edited by customizing the Sass files in public/sass. You can build it by running gulp sass, or watch for changes using gulp sass:watch.
  • The overlay's queuing function can be edited by customizing public/js/queue.js.
  • To add icons to the overlay, please see an example in the overlay1 block in views/overlay/overlay.ejs. You can add your own icons from images, or using iconfonts like Font Awesome.
