Hello,

 

How to edit the announcement bar marquee to be long, continuous, and run the full length of the bar? I made the announcement bar on the refresh theme a marquee with a custom image background however the characters seem limited and it doesn't run the full length of the bar with no gaps as I would like.  

 

I also added this to the theme.liquid code as directed which fixed the issue of it ending completely out the left but however now on the right, it doesn't scroll in from the far end:

<style>
.scroll-container {
margin: 0 !important;
}
</style>

 

My store so far: https://jewelslaboratory.myshopify.com/?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1&preview_theme_id=123976941631

 

The code: 

{%- for block in section.blocks -%}
{%- case block.type -%}
{%- when 'announcement' -%}
<div class="announcement-bar scroll-box color-{{ block.settings.color_scheme }} gradient" role="region" aria-label="{{ 'sections.header.announcement' | t }}" {{ block.shopify_attributes }}>
{%- if block.settings.text != blank -%}
<div class="scroll-container">
{%- if block.settings.link != blank -%}
<a href="{{ block.settings.link }}" class="announcement-bar__link link link--text focus-inset animate-arrow">
{%- endif -%}
<p class="announcement-bar__message h5" id="scroll-element">
{{ block.settings.text | escape }}
{%- if block.settings.link != blank -%}
{% render 'icon-arrow' %}
{%- endif -%}
</p>
{%- if block.settings.link != blank -%}
</a>
{%- endif -%}
</div>
{%- endif -%}
</div>
{%- endcase -%}
{%- endfor -%}

{% style %}
.announcement-bar__message {
text-align: right !important;
}
@-webkit-keyframes scroll{
0% {
margin-right: 0%;
}
100% {
margin-right: 100%;

}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
.scroll-container {

direction: rtl;
margin-left: 24px;
overflow: hidden;
}
}
#scroll-element {
padding: 10px;
}
{% endstyle %}
<script>

var elemWidth = document.getElementById('scroll-element').offsetWidth;
var time = elemWidth/120; /* lower number for slow & higher number for fast scroll */
document.getElementById('scroll-element').style.cssText = "animation: scroll "+time+"s linear infinite;"

</script>

Hey @JewelsLab,

Try this and then you should be able to paste more text into the announcement bar. Paste the text repeatedly until it fills up the bar. It should be fine from there.

 

{%- for block in section.blocks -%}
{%- case block.type -%}
{%- when 'announcement' -%}
<div class="announcement-bar scroll-box color-{{ block.settings.color_scheme }} gradient" role="region" aria-label="{{ 'sections.header.announcement' | t }}" {{ block.shopify_attributes }}>
{%- if block.settings.text != blank -%}
<div class="scroll-container">
{%- if block.settings.link != blank -%}
<a href="{{ block.settings.link }}" class="announcement-bar__link link link--text focus-inset animate-arrow">
{%- endif -%}
<p class="announcement-bar__message h5" id="scroll-element">
{{ block.settings.text | escape }}
{%- if block.settings.link != blank -%}
{% render 'icon-arrow' %}
{%- endif -%}
</p>
{%- if block.settings.link != blank -%}
</a>
{%- endif -%}
</div>
{%- endif -%}
</div>
{%- endcase -%}
{%- endfor -%}

{% style %}
.announcement-bar__message {
text-align: right !important;
}
@-webkit-keyframes scroll{
0% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(calc(-100% - 1rem));
