{With \textsl{PlayaCV} you can change the layout and looks of your applications easily, with options to include a cover letter and/or a résumé (and annexes). See \textsl{\bfseries README.md}.\\
Set up your own design intuitively for the cover letter and/or cv pages layouts, including options for personalised headers, footers, fonts, symbols and colours.\\
Add any cv elements in the cover letter too, if you like. Here on the right you can see an example: a combination of a coloured \textsl{\bfseries cvbox} containing some text, some \textsl{\bfseries cvskill}s and some \textsl{\bfseries cvtag}s, with some \textcolor{HighlightColor}{\bfseries highlights}}
