Best Practice

• When using Post, limit the number of items so it doesn’t scroll too fast or too long
• Keep Title Marquee short (“Breaking News”, “Update”, “Promo”)

Summary

Text Marquee provides a flexible scrolling information bar for announcements or latest post titles. You can choose the content type (Text/Post), set its position relative to the header, and configure styles (container, height, font, colors, background, and radius) including the title label.
