+
+# Integration
+
+First you have to initialize `TickarooEmbedManager` by invoking the default constructor. This has to be done exactly once. For your `TickarooEmbedManager` you have to provide an implementation of `TickarooEmbedManagerDelegate`.
+
+# Styling
+
+The following four colours can be overridden in the resources:
+
+- tickaroo\_primary\_color
+- tickaroo\_primary\_color\_dark
+- tickaroo\_accent\_color
+- tickaroo\_accent\_color\_dark
+
+By default the primary colours are green and the accent colours are orange.
+
+The following four fonts can be changed to any standard android font family by overwriting the values in res/values-v16/strings.xml
+
+- font\_family\_medium
+- font\_family\_light
+- font\_family\_black
+- font\_family\_regular
+
+By default these are set to the corresponding sans-serif font families, normally Roboto. The comic font can be replaced by a custom font file in assets/fonts. The file name is specified by the string font\_file\_comic
