"Tab Message" Custom Code to Animate AFK Tab

Topic summary

Goal: recover a previously added “Tab Message” customization in a Shopify theme after switching projects. The feature was enabled via Theme > Settings > Tab Messages; only partial code remains in theme.liquid.

Context provided: store URL and password shared; the older theme “Copy of Extremekool” reportedly contains the full code. The requester can publish that theme for review.

Requests from helpers: asked which page shows the tab, then requested a reference link for the desired tab behavior and/or access to the store. One participant stated they can’t act on old code without clear requirements.

Guidance offered: likely locations are the main JavaScript file in Assets or a dedicated JS file (possibly “message-modify”), plus related CSS. One person offered paid theme repair services.

Latest status: requester says they added some code to JS and asks where theme settings entries are added. Key question (where settings are defined) remains unanswered. Screenshots of the settings panel/code are central to understanding.
