Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Color scheme | Picks which set of colors to use for this section |
| Scroll speed | How fast the marquee scrolls — Slow, Medium, Fast, or Custom. Choose Custom to set an exact duration. |
| Scroll speed (seconds) | The scroll animation duration in seconds (10–60 s). Only visible when Speed preset is set to Custom. |

Blocks
The marquee accepts any theme block. Add a Text block for each message:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Text | The message to display |
You can add multiple blocks. They show in sequence, spaced apart as they scroll — add a character like • to your text if you want a visible divider.
When it isn't showing
Every scrolling item is a block. A marquee with no blocks hides itself on the storefront and shows a prompt in the theme editor.
If it is not moving, the visitor may have reduced motion turned on — the text is then shown still, which is deliberate.
Tips
- Keep messages short and punchy: "Free shipping over $50 ✦ 30-day returns ✦ New arrivals weekly." Long sentences are impossible to read in a scrolling ticker.
