I posted a video on YouTube showing you exactly how you can add a feature design (like front-hair, facial hair, eyes, body-types, etc:) to the application.
You can watch that video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zpcx4210IE
I recommend designing the character in Gravit Designer because the code it outputs is cleaner and easier to manage than any other vector editor I've used.
NOTE: You will not be able to change the fill color if fill is specified as a style attribute, but only as a fill html attribute.
