               =========================================

               To set your hero background images:
               1. Place your image files in the same folder as this HTML file
               2. Update the variables below with your image filenames

               Light Theme (White Background):
               --hero-bg-image-light: url('hero-background-light.jpg');

               Dark Theme (Black Background):
               --hero-bg-image-dark: url('hero-background-dark.jpg');

               If no image is set, the background will default to the solid theme color.

           HERO BACKGROUND IMAGE SETTING
           =========================================
           To set your local hero background image:
           1. Place your image file in the same folder as this HTML file
           2. Update the --hero-bg-image variable in the :root section (line 20-47)
           3. Example: --hero-bg-image: url('your-image.jpg');

           If no image is set, the background will default to white.
