🎨 Customization

Change Time Format

In index.html, modify the toLocaleTimeString options: javascript

// For 12-hour format with AM/PM time: now.toLocaleTimeString("en-US", { hour12: true, hour: "2-digit", minute: "2-digit", second: "2-digit" })

// For different locale (e.g., Indonesia) time: now.toLocaleTimeString("id-ID", { timeZone: "Asia/Jakarta", hour12: false })

Change Color Scheme

In style.css, modify the color variables: css

/_ Primary Colors / .time-display { color: #06d6a0; / Change this for clock color _/ }

.greeting { color: #ffd166; /_ Change this for greeting color _/ }

.date-display { color: #a9def9; /_ Change this for date color _/ }

Change Animation Speed css

/_ Slower icon rotation / .header i { animation: spin 20s linear infinite; / Changed from 10s _/ }

/_ Faster heartbeat / .footer i { animation: heartbeat 1s infinite; / Changed from 1.5s _/ }

🎯 How It Works

React Components javascript

function App() { // State management for date and time const [datetime, setDatetime] = React.useState({...});

// useEffect for real-time updates React.useEffect(() => { const interval = setInterval(() => { // Update time every second }, 1000); return () => clearInterval(interval); }, []);

// Render components return React.createElement(...); }
