Customization

The easiest customization is swapping out the background.webp image.

The weather is based on my location in Morganton, NC so if you want somewhere else swap out the AccuWeather link in newtab.js. My location looks like this:

https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/morganton/28655/weather-forecast/334823

You can just search for your location on the AccuWeather website and copy the url of the resulting page.
