How to slow down announcement bar scrolling text

[SkinnyMaverick]

Hi, I'm using an external theme "Ella" in Shopify. However, I just can't seem to slow down the announcement bar text scroll time. I haven't published the theme yet as I want to finish all the edits before publishing, and so I can't provide a link to my problem.

@SkinnyMaverick - if bar is scrolling fast it can be due to javascript, please check if you have any option to slow down in customize settings... else check css for announcement bar to find if it is css

Hi, thank you for commenting. I have checked both the settings in the customization section as well as all the CSS in the original code. Can't find any setting or CSS code that says anything about the announcement bar timing.

@SkinnyMaverick - better to ask theme support then, else you will need to get some expert to do it

Hello @SkinnyMaverick ,

Check the theme settings maybe there you will find an option to control it.
if not then try to ask from theme developer about it.
Alternatively you have to hire a developer to find the code and do the necessary changes.

Thanks

Hi, thank you for your comment. I'm starting to think it's a development thing and that I'll have to contact the developer directly. I've checked all the settings everywhere including the CSS coding.

Hello SkinnyMaverick,

I am just now running into this issue myself, were you able to find a decent fix for this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, yes I was.
Having tried everything else, I copied the Announcement Bar and put half
(or some) of my wording in there. It instantly slowed down. My theory is,
that the more text you have in your Announcement Bar the faster it will
scroll. Unfortunately, I haven't found another workaround for this yet.

I hope this helps.
