🎨 Customization Guide

🛠️ Adding New Tools

1. Edit Tools: Modify EditToolbar.jsx

const EDIT_TOOLS = [
  { icon: <FaYourIcon />, label: 'Your Tool', action: 'yourAction' },
  // Add your custom tool here
];

2. Tool Logic: Update editor.jsx

const handleEditToolSelect = (tool) => {
  if (tool === 'yourAction') {
    // Implement your tool logic
  }
};

🎨 Styling Customization

Color Scheme: Update CSS variables in editor.css

:root {
  --primary-purple: #9d4edd;
  --secondary-purple: #c77dff;
  --accent-blue: #6a82fb;
  /* Customize your colors */
}

Glassmorphic Effects: Modify backdrop filters

.glass-element {
  backdrop-filter: blur(15px);
  background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
  border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
}
