Then add your content in Theme Customize, your announcement will be scrolling

Hope this can help you solve the issue

Thank you! Just a couple questions about this code. How do I change the speed? How do I change the text? & is there a way to change the space between each message?

Hello, thankyou for sharing this, it worked. However i have a question as to if it is possible to make it span the whole width of the screen on computer?

my store is shopseiza.com
