+# Glowers Club Element Patches
+
+This contains everything used to patch Glowers Club's Element instance. This patch does the following:
+
+- Changes messages starting with ">" to be chan-style greentext instead of Reddit-style block quotes
+- Adds custom login background (replace lake.jpg with any background you want)
+- Adds custom text reactions in the emoji menu (at the bottom of the "Smileys & People" section). Change emoji.json to have any custom reactions you want.
+- Modifies the CSS for the emoji picker so the text reactions don't overflow to other emoji
+- Contains a fix for a bug when compiling that Element devs added and never fixed. See [this Github issue](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/16555)
+- Replaces the default config.json with the one here
