Description

Simple text bar

• The text ticker is great for variable size text from external sources, but its legibility is poor.
• The text bar provides for easy to read and less intrusive display of text, and more options in the formatting and transitions.
• It handles variable size content by scrolling automatically up if the text does not fit on the number of lines specified.
