+
+## Core Components
+
+### 1. Entry Point (`src/SEQTA.ts`)
+This is where it all begins! When you visit a SEQTA page:
+1. Detects if you're on a SEQTA Learn page
+2. Injects our CSS styles
+3. Changes the favicon to BetterSEQTA+ icon
+4. Loads settings from storage
+5. Initializes the plugin system
+
+### 2. Plugin System (`src/plugins/`)
+The heart of BetterSEQTA+! This is what makes it extensible:
+- **Plugin Manager**: Registers and manages all plugins
+- **Built-in Plugins**: Pre-made plugins (themes, search, etc.)
+- **Plugin API**: Provides plugins with tools to interact with SEQTA
+
+### 3. Settings UI (`src/interface/`)
+A Svelte application that lets users:
+- Enable/disable plugins
+- Configure plugin settings
+- Create custom themes
+- Browse the theme store
+
+### 4. Background Script (`src/background.ts`)
+Runs in the background and handles:
+- Extension-wide settings storage
+- Communication between different parts
+- Update notifications
+
+## Plugin System
+
+Our plugin system is what makes BetterSEQTA+ so powerful. Here's how it works:
+
+### Plugin Lifecycle
+```
+Plugin Registration → Settings Loading → Plugin Initialization → Running → Cleanup
+```
+
+### Built-in Plugins Overview
+
+| Plugin | What it does | Files |
+|--------|-------------|-------|
+| **Themes** | Custom CSS themes and backgrounds | `src/plugins/built-in/themes/` |
+| **Global Search** | Search across all SEQTA content | `src/plugins/built-in/globalSearch/` |
+| **Timetable** | Enhanced timetable features | `src/plugins/built-in/timetable/` |
+| **Profile Picture** | Custom profile pictures | `src/plugins/built-in/profilePicture/` |
+| **Animated Background** | Moving background animations | `src/plugins/built-in/animatedBackground/` |
+
+### Creating a Plugin
+Every plugin follows this structure:
+```typescript
+const myPlugin: Plugin = {
+  id: "unique-plugin-id",
+  name: "Human Readable Name",
+  description: "What does this plugin do?",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+  settings: { /* user configurable options */ },
+  run: async (api) => {
+    // Your plugin code goes here!
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## File Structure Explained
+
+```

+```
+
+### Where to Start Reading?
+1. **New to the project?** Start with `src/SEQTA.ts`
+2. **Want to understand plugins?** Look at `src/plugins/core/types.ts`
+3. **Want to see a simple plugin?** Check out `src/plugins/built-in/profilePicture/`
+4. **Interested in the UI?** Explore `src/interface/main.ts`
+
+## Data Flow
+
+Here's how data flows through the system:
+
+```
+User visits SEQTA → SEQTA.ts detects page → Loads settings from storage
+                                                        │
+                                                        ▼
+Plugin Manager initializes → Each plugin gets API access → Plugins modify SEQTA
+                                                        │
+                                                        ▼
+User opens settings → Svelte UI loads → Settings changed → Storage updated
+                                                        │
+                                                        ▼
+Storage change detected → Plugins notified → UI updates automatically
+```
+
+## Browser Extension Basics
+
+Never worked on a browser extension before? Here's what you need to know:
+
+### Content Scripts vs Background Scripts
+- **Content Script** (`SEQTA.ts`): Runs on SEQTA pages, can access and modify the page
+- **Background Script** (`background.ts`): Runs in the background, handles storage and messaging
+
+### Manifest Files
+Each browser needs a slightly different manifest file:
+- `manifests/chrome.ts` - Chrome, Edge, Brave
+- `manifests/firefox.ts` - Firefox
+- `manifests/safari.ts` - Safari (experimental)
+
+### Communication
+Different parts of the extension communicate using:
+- `browser.runtime.sendMessage()` - Send messages
+- `browser.storage` - Shared storage, but we have created a custom storage system that is easier to use:
+```ts
+settingsState.[the setting name] = [whatever you want to set it to]
+console.log(settingsState.[the setting name])
+```
+- Custom events for plugin communication
+
+## Development Tips
+
+### Debugging
+1. **Chrome DevTools**: Right-click → Inspect → Console tab
+2. **Extension Console**: `chrome://extensions` → BetterSEQTA+ → "Inspect views: background page"
+3. **Look for logs**: We log everything with `[BetterSEQTA+]` prefix
+
+### Making Changes
+1. Edit code → Save → Browser auto-reloads extension → Refresh SEQTA page
+2. For UI changes: The dev server hot-reloads automatically
+3. For plugin changes: May need to disable/enable the plugin in settings
+
+### Common Gotchas
+- Settings take a moment to load (use `api.settings.loaded` promise)
+- Some SEQTA elements load dynamically (use `api.seqta.onMount()`)
+- Plugin cleanup is important (always return a cleanup function)
+
+## Next Steps

+# Theme Creation Guide
+
+This guide covers everything you need to know about creating custom themes for BetterSEQTA+.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Overview](#overview)
+2. [Theme Structure](#theme-structure)
+3. [CSS Variables](#css-variables)
+4. [CSS Selectors & Classes](#css-selectors--classes)
+5. [Custom Images](#custom-images)

+7. [Best Practices](#best-practices)
+8. [Examples](#examples)
+
+## Overview
+
+Themes in BetterSEQTA+ allow you to completely customize the appearance of SEQTA Learn. A theme consists of:
+
+- **Custom CSS**: CSS rules that override default styles
+- **Custom Images**: Images that can be referenced via CSS variables
+- **Theme Metadata**: Name, description, default color, etc.
+- **Theme Settings**: Options like forcing dark/light mode
+
+Themes are applied by injecting CSS into the SEQTA page and setting CSS custom properties (variables) on the document root.
+
+## CSS Variables
+
+BetterSEQTA+ provides a comprehensive set of CSS variables that you can use in your themes. These variables automatically adapt to light/dark mode and user preferences.
+
+### Core Background Variables
+
+| Variable | Light Mode | Dark Mode | Description |
+|----------|------------|-----------|-------------|
+| `--background-primary` | `#ffffff` | `#232323` | Main background color |
+| `--background-secondary` | `#e5e7eb` | `#1a1a1a` | Secondary background color |
+| `--theme-primary` | `#ffffff` | `#232323` | Primary theme color (same as background-primary) |
+| `--theme-secondary` | `#e5e7eb` | `#1a1a1a` | Secondary theme color (same as background-secondary) |
+| `--text-primary` | `black` | `white` | Primary text color |

+
+### Subject/Item Color Variables
+
+| Variable | Description |

+| `--background-secondary` | `rgba(229, 231, 235, 0.6)` | `rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.6)` |
+
+### Using CSS Variables
+
+You can use these variables in your custom CSS:
+
+```css
+/* Example: Style a custom element */
+.my-custom-element {
+  background: var(--background-primary);
+  color: var(--text-primary);
+  border: 1px solid var(--better-main);
+}
+
+/* Example: Create a gradient */
+.gradient-box {
+  background: linear-gradient(
+    to bottom,
+    var(--better-main),
+    var(--background-secondary)
+  );

+SEQTA uses data attributes that you can target:
+
+```css
+/* Target specific data types */
+[data-type="student"] .header {
+  color: var(--text-primary);
+}
+
+/* Target specific labels */
+[data-label="inbox"] {
+  /* Styles */
+}
+```
+
+### CSS Modules
+
+SEQTA uses CSS modules with hashed class names. You can target them using attribute selectors:
+
+```css
+/* Target CSS module classes */
+[class*="MessageList__MessageList___"] {
+  background: var(--background-primary);
+}
+
+[class*="BasicPanel__BasicPanel___"] {
+  border-radius: 16px;
+}
+```
+
+## Custom Images
+
+Themes can include custom images that are made available as CSS variables.
+
+### Adding Images
+
+1. Upload an image in the theme creator
+2. Set a CSS variable name (e.g., `custom-background`)
+3. The image will be available as `var(--custom-background)`
+
+### Using Image Variables
+
+```css
+/* Use as background */
+.my-element {
+  background-image: var(--custom-background);
+  background-size: cover;
+  background-position: center;
+}
+
+/* Use in content */
+.my-icon::before {
+  content: '';
+  background-image: var(--custom-icon);
+  width: 24px;
+  height: 24px;
+}
+```
+
+### Image Variable Format
+
+Images are stored as `url()` values:
+
+```css
+/* The variable contains: url(blob:...) */
+--custom-background: url(blob:chrome-extension://...);
+```
+
+## Theme Settings
+
+### Force Dark/Light Mode
+
+You can force a theme to always use dark or light mode:
+
+```typescript
+forceDark: true   // Force dark mode
+forceDark: false  // Force light mode
+forceDark: undefined  // Use user's preference (default)
+```
+
+When `forceDark` is set, users cannot toggle dark/light mode while the theme is active.
+
+### Default Color
+
+Set a default accent color for your theme:
+
+```typescript
+defaultColour: "rgba(0, 123, 255, 1)"  // Blue
+defaultColour: "#ff6b6b"                // Red (hex format)
+```
+
+### Allow Color Changes
+
+Control whether users can change the accent color:
+
+```typescript
+CanChangeColour: true   // Users can change color
+CanChangeColour: false  // Color is locked
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use CSS Variables
+
+Always use CSS variables instead of hardcoded colors:
+
+```css
+/* Good */
+.my-element {
+  background: var(--background-primary);
+  color: var(--text-primary);
+}
+
+/* Bad */
+.my-element {
+  background: #ffffff;
+  color: #000000;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Support Both Light and Dark Modes
+
+Unless your theme forces a specific mode, ensure it works in both:
+
+```css
+/* Use variables that adapt automatically */
+.my-element {
+  background: var(--background-primary);
+  color: var(--text-primary);
+}
+
+/* Or explicitly handle both modes */
+html.dark .my-element {
+  background: #1a1a1a;
+}
+
+html:not(.dark) .my-element {
+  background: #ffffff;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Use !important Sparingly
+
+Only use `!important` when necessary to override SEQTA's default styles:
+
+```css
+/* Good - necessary override */
+#title {
+  background: var(--background-primary) !important;
+}
+
+/* Bad - unnecessary */
+.my-element {
+  color: var(--text-primary) !important;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Test Responsive Design
+
+SEQTA is responsive. Test your theme at different screen sizes:
+
+```css
+/* Example: Mobile-specific styles */
+@media (max-width: 900px) {
+  #menu {
+    transform: translate(-270px);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Use Semantic Selectors
+
+Prefer semantic selectors over fragile ones:
+
+```css
+/* Good - stable selector */
+#main > .dashboard > section {
+  border-radius: 16px;
+}
+
+/* Caution - CSS module classes may change */
+[class*="Dashboard__Dashboard___"] {
+  border-radius: 16px;
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Optimize Images
+
+Keep image file sizes reasonable:
+
+- Use appropriate formats (PNG for transparency, JPG for photos)
+- Compress images before uploading
+- Consider using CSS for simple graphics instead of images
+
+### 7. Document Your Theme
+
+Include comments in your CSS explaining complex styles:
+
+```css
+/* 
+ * Custom gradient background for dashboard
+ * Uses the user's accent color for a cohesive look
+ */
+#main > .dashboard {
+  background: linear-gradient(
+    135deg,
+    var(--better-main),
+    var(--background-secondary)
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Simple Color Theme
+
+```css
+/* Change accent color throughout */
+:root {
+  --better-main: #ff6b6b;
+}
+
+/* Style the menu */
+#menu {
+  background: var(--background-primary);
+  border-right: 3px solid var(--better-main);
+}
+
+/* Style buttons */
+.uiButton {
+  background: var(--better-main);
+  color: var(--text-color);
+  border-radius: 8px;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Custom Background Image
+
+```css
+/* Use a custom background image */
+body {
+  background-image: var(--custom-background);
+  background-size: cover;
+  background-attachment: fixed;
+}
+
+/* Add overlay for readability */
+#main::before {
+  content: '';
+  position: fixed;
+  top: 0;
+  left: 0;
+  right: 0;
+  bottom: 0;
+  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
+  z-index: -1;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Rounded Corners Theme
+
+```css
+/* Make everything more rounded */
+#main > .dashboard > section,
+.dashlet,
+.notice,
+.document {
+  border-radius: 20px !important;
+}
+
+/* Round buttons */
+.uiButton {
+  border-radius: 25px !important;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 4: Minimal Theme
+
+```css
+/* Remove shadows and borders */
+#main > .dashboard > section,
+.dashlet,
+.notice {
+  box-shadow: none !important;
+  border: 1px solid var(--background-secondary) !important;
+}
+
+/* Simplify colors */
+#menu {
+  background: var(--background-primary) !important;
+}
+
+/* Remove gradients */
+.day {
+  background: var(--background-primary) !important;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 5: High Contrast Theme
+
+```css
+/* Increase contrast */
+:root {
+  --background-primary: #000000;
+  --background-secondary: #1a1a1a;
+  --text-primary: #ffffff;
+}
+
+html:not(.dark) {
+  --background-primary: #ffffff;
+  --background-secondary: #f0f0f0;
+  --text-primary: #000000;
+}
+
+/* Add borders for clarity */
+.dashlet,
+.notice,
+.document {
+  border: 2px solid var(--better-main) !important;
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Techniques
+
+### CSS Custom Properties Override
+
+You can override CSS variables in your theme:
+
+```css
+/* Override a variable */
+:root {
+  --better-main: #your-color;
+}
+
+/* Override conditionally */
+html.dark {
+  --background-primary: #your-dark-color;
+}
+```
+
+### Animations
+
+Add smooth transitions:
+
+```css
+/* Smooth color transitions */
+#menu li {
+  transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
+}
+
+/* Hover effects */
+.dashlet:hover {
+  transform: translateY(-2px);
+  box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
+  transition: all 0.3s ease;
+}
+```
+
+### Pseudo-elements
+
+Use pseudo-elements for decorative elements:
+
+```css
+/* Add decorative border */
+.notice::before {
+  content: '';
+  position: absolute;
+  left: 0;
+  top: 0;
+  bottom: 0;
+  width: 4px;
+  background: var(--better-main);
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Theme Not Applying
+
+1. Check browser console for CSS errors
+2. Verify CSS syntax is correct
+3. Ensure selectors are specific enough
+4. Check if `!important` is needed
+
+### Colors Not Changing
+
+1. Verify you're using CSS variables
+2. Check if `forceDark` is overriding your styles
+3. Ensure variables are set on `:root` or `html`
+
+### Images Not Showing
+
+1. Verify image variable name matches CSS
+2. Check image format is supported
+3. Ensure image size is reasonable
+4. Verify `url()` wrapper in CSS
+
+### Dark Mode Issues
+
+1. Test with `forceDark: true` and `forceDark: false`
+2. Check if transparency effects are interfering
+3. Verify `html.dark` selector is correct

+sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
+sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/node_modules
+```
+
+## Development Server Issues
+
+### ❌ "npm run dev" fails
+
+**Problem**: Development server won't start.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check if port is in use**:
+   ```bash
+   lsof -i :5173  # Kill the process using the port
+   ```
+
+2. **Clear dist folder**:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf dist
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+3. **Check for TypeScript errors**:
+   ```bash
+   npx tsc --noEmit  # Check for type errors
+   ```
+
+### ❌ Changes not reflecting in browser
+
+**Problem**: You make code changes but don't see them in the browser.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Reload the extension**:
+   - Go to `chrome://extensions`
+   - Find BetterSEQTA+ and click the refresh icon
+   - Refresh your SEQTA page
+
+2. **Check if dev server is running**:
+   - Look for "Build completed" in your terminal
+   - If not, restart `npm run dev`
+
+3. **Hard refresh the page**:
+   - Press `Ctrl+Shift+R` (or `Cmd+Shift+R` on Mac)
+
+## Browser Extension Issues
+
+### ❌ Extension doesn't load in Chrome
+
+**Problem**: Extension appears in `chrome://extensions` but doesn't work.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check for errors**:
+   - Go to `chrome://extensions`
+   - Click "Errors" button on BetterSEQTA+
+   - Fix any JavaScript errors shown
+
+2. **Verify manifest**:
+   - Check if `dist/manifest.json` exists
+   - Ensure it has proper structure
+
+3. **Check permissions**:
+   - Extension needs permission to access SEQTA pages
+   - Click "Details" → "Site access" → "On all sites"
+
+### ❌ Extension doesn't appear on SEQTA pages
+
+**Problem**: Extension loads but doesn't modify SEQTA.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check if you're on a SEQTA Learn page**:
+   - URL should contain "seqta" or "learn"
+   - Page title should include "SEQTA Learn"
+
+2. **Check browser console**:
+   - Press `F12` → Console tab
+   - Look for "[BetterSEQTA+]" messages
+   - If no messages, extension isn't running
+
+3. **Verify page detection**:
+   - Extension only runs on actual SEQTA Learn pages
+   - Test on a real SEQTA instance
+
+### ❌ Settings page won't open
+
+**Problem**: Clicking the extension icon doesn't open settings.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check popup errors**:
+   - Right-click extension icon → "Inspect popup"
+   - Look for JavaScript errors
+
+2. **Clear extension storage**:
+   ```javascript
+   // In browser console on any page:
+   chrome.storage.local.clear()
+   ```
+
+3. **Reload extension and try again**
+
+## Plugin Development Issues
+
+### ❌ My plugin doesn't appear in settings
+
+**Problem**: Created a plugin but it's not showing up.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check plugin registration**:
+   - Ensure your plugin is imported in `src/plugins/index.ts`
+   - Verify `pluginManager.registerPlugin(yourPlugin)` is called
+
+2. **Check plugin structure**:
+   ```typescript
+   // Ensure your plugin has all required fields
+   const myPlugin: Plugin = {
+     id: "unique-id",      // Must be unique
+     name: "Display Name",
+     description: "What it does",
+     version: "1.0.0",
+     run: async (api) => {
+       // Your code here
+     }
+   };
+   ```
+
+3. **Check for errors**:
+   - Look in browser console for plugin loading errors
+
+### ❌ Plugin settings not working
+
+**Problem**: Plugin settings don't save or load properly.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check settings definition**:
+   ```typescript
+   import { defineSettings, booleanSetting } from "@/plugins/core/settingsHelpers";
+   
+   const settings = defineSettings({
+     myOption: booleanSetting({
+       default: true,
+       title: "My Option",
+       description: "What this does"
+     })
+   });
+   ```
+
+2. **Wait for settings to load**:
+   ```typescript
+   run: async (api) => {
+     await api.settings.loaded;  // Wait for settings to load
+     console.log(api.settings.myOption);  // Now you can use settings
+   }
+   ```
+
+### ❌ Plugin API functions not working
+
+**Problem**: `api.seqta.onMount()` or other API functions don't work.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check selector specificity**:
+   ```typescript
+   // Be specific with selectors
+   api.seqta.onMount(".home-page", (element) => {
+     // Your code
+   });
+   ```
+
+2. **Wait for elements**:
+   ```typescript
+   // Some elements load after page navigation
+   api.seqta.onPageChange((page) => {
+     if (page === "home") {
+       api.seqta.onMount(".home-content", (element) => {
+         // Now element should exist
+       });
+     }
+   });
+   ```
+
+## Build Issues
+
+### ❌ "npm run build" fails
+
+**Problem**: Production build fails with errors.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check TypeScript errors**:
+   ```bash
+   npx tsc --noEmit
+   ```
+
+2. **Clear cache and rebuild**:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf dist node_modules
+   npm install --legacy-peer-deps
+   npm run build
+   ```
+
+3. **Check for import errors**:
+   - Ensure all imports use correct paths
+   - Check for missing files
+
+### ❌ Built extension doesn't work
+
+**Problem**: `npm run build` succeeds but extension doesn't work.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Test the built extension**:
+   - Load the `dist` folder as unpacked extension
+   - Check console for errors
+
+2. **Compare with dev version**:
+   - If dev works but build doesn't, there might be a build configuration issue
+
+3. **Check manifest generation**:
+   - Verify `dist/manifest.json` looks correct
+   - Compare with working version
+
+## Common Error Messages
+
+### "Cannot access contents of the URL"
+- **Cause**: Extension permissions issue
+- **Fix**: Go to `chrome://extensions` → BetterSEQTA+ → Details → Site access → "On all sites"
+
+### "Extension context invalidated"
+- **Cause**: Extension was reloaded while page was open
+- **Fix**: Refresh the SEQTA page
+
+### "Uncaught ReferenceError: browser is not defined"
+- **Cause**: Missing webextension-polyfill import
+- **Fix**: Add `import browser from "webextension-polyfill";` at top of file
+
+### "Module not found: Can't resolve '@/...' "
+- **Cause**: TypeScript path mapping issue
+- **Fix**: Check `tsconfig.json` and `vite.config.ts` for path configuration
+
+## Performance Issues
+
+### Extension makes SEQTA slow
+1. **Check for memory leaks**:
+   - Use Chrome DevTools → Performance tab
+   - Look for growing memory usage
+
+2. **Optimize plugin code**:
+   - Remove unnecessary listeners
+   - Clean up intervals/timeouts
+   - Use efficient selectors
+
+3. **Profile your changes**:
+   - Test with extension disabled vs enabled
+   - Identify which plugin is causing issues

+# Example Plugin Template
+
+This is a complete, working example of a simple BetterSEQTA+ plugin. You can copy this code and modify it to create your own plugin!
+
+## What This Example Does
+
+This plugin adds a friendly welcome message to the SEQTA homepage and lets users customize the message through settings.
+
+## Complete Plugin Code
+
+Create a new file in `src/plugins/built-in/my-first-plugin/index.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { Plugin } from "@/plugins/core/types";
+import { BasePlugin } from "@/plugins/core/settings";
+import { 
+  defineSettings, 
+  booleanSetting, 
+  stringSetting 
+} from "@/plugins/core/settingsHelpers";
+import { Setting } from "@/plugins/core/settingsHelpers";
+
+// Define the plugin settings
+const settings = defineSettings({
+  enabled: booleanSetting({
+    default: true,
+    title: "Show Welcome Message",
+    description: "Display a welcome message on the SEQTA homepage"
+  }),
+  customMessage: stringSetting({
+    default: "Welcome to SEQTA! 🎉",
+    title: "Custom Message",
+    description: "The message to display on the homepage",
+    maxLength: 100
+  }),
+  showEmoji: booleanSetting({
+    default: true,
+    title: "Show Emoji",
+    description: "Include emojis in the welcome message"
+  })
+});
+
+// Create settings class
+class MyFirstPluginSettings extends BasePlugin<typeof settings> {
+  @Setting(settings.enabled)
+  enabled!: boolean;
+
+  @Setting(settings.customMessage)
+  customMessage!: string;
+
+  @Setting(settings.showEmoji)
+  showEmoji!: boolean;
+}
+
+// Create settings instance
+const settingsInstance = new MyFirstPluginSettings();
+
+// Define the plugin
+const myFirstPlugin: Plugin<typeof settings> = {
+  id: "my-first-plugin",
+  name: "My First Plugin",
+  description: "Adds a customizable welcome message to the SEQTA homepage",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+  
+  // Link our settings
+  settings: settingsInstance.settings,
+  
+  // Mark as beta (optional)
+  beta: true,
+  
+  // Add some CSS styles (optional)
+  styles: `
+    .my-plugin-welcome {
+      background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
+      color: white;

+    let welcomeElement: HTMLElement | null = null;
+    
+    // Function to create the welcome message
+    const createWelcomeMessage = () => {
+      // Only show if enabled in settings
+      if (!api.settings.enabled) {
+        return;
+      }
+

+```
+
+## How to Use This Example
+
+### Step 1: Create the Plugin File
+1. Create a new folder: `src/plugins/built-in/my-first-plugin/`
+2. Create `index.ts` in that folder
+3. Copy the code above into `index.ts`
+
+### Step 2: Register the Plugin
+Add this to `src/plugins/index.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// Add this import at the top
+import myFirstPlugin from "./built-in/my-first-plugin";
+
+// Add this line where other plugins are registered
+pluginManager.registerPlugin(myFirstPlugin);
+```
+
+### Step 3: Test It
+1. Run `npm run dev`
+2. Reload your extension in Chrome
+3. Visit a SEQTA page
+4. You should see your welcome message!
+5. Open BetterSEQTA+ settings to customize it
+
+## Key Concepts Explained
+
+### 1. Plugin Structure
+```typescript
+const myPlugin: Plugin = {
+  id: "unique-id",           // Must be unique across all plugins
+  name: "Display Name",      // Shown in settings
+  description: "What it does", // Shown in settings
+  version: "1.0.0",         // Plugin version
+  settings: settingsObject, // User-configurable options
+  styles: "/* CSS here */", // Optional CSS styles
+  run: async (api) => {     // Main plugin code
+    // Your code here
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2. Settings System
+```typescript
+// Define what settings your plugin has
+const settings = defineSettings({
+  myOption: booleanSetting({
+    default: true,
+    title: "My Option",
+    description: "What this option does"
+  })
+});
+
+// Use in your plugin
+if (api.settings.myOption) {
+  // Do something
+}
+```
+
+### 3. SEQTA Integration
+```typescript
+// Wait for elements to appear
+api.seqta.onMount(".some-selector", (element) => {
+  // Modify the element
+});
+
+// Detect page changes
+api.seqta.onPageChange((page) => {
+  if (page === "home") {
+    // User navigated to homepage
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Cleanup
+Always return a cleanup function to remove your changes when the plugin is disabled:
+
+```typescript
+run: async (api) => {
+  // Add your features
+  
+  return () => {
+    // Remove your features
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Customization Ideas
+
+Want to modify this example? Here are some ideas:
+
+1. **Change the styling**: Modify the CSS to use different colors, animations, or layouts
+2. **Add more settings**: Number settings, select dropdowns, hotkeys
+3. **Different trigger**: Show on different pages, or based on time of day
+4. **Add interactions**: Buttons that do things when clicked
+5. **Store data**: Use `api.storage` to remember user preferences
+6. **Communicate with other plugins**: Use `api.events` to send/receive events
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once you've got this working:
+
+1. **Experiment**: Try changing things and see what happens
+2. **Read other plugins**: Look at the built-in plugins for inspiration
+3. **Check the API docs**: Learn about all available API functions
+4. **Share your creation**: Show it off in Discord!
