    Hello 8theme team,

    In regards to the marquee element;

    1) Is there anyway we can put words inside blocks?
    Such as in this screenshot = https://prnt.sc/7rOW4sjo74z7 + https://prnt.sc/mluwg2GRPSch

    Please see PCA for website.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello, @GTP,

    1) Regarding your request to include words inside blocks within the marquee element, I would like to guide you through the process of achieving this. Please follow the steps below:

    a) Navigate to the Marquee settings located on the left sidebar.
    b) Under the “Style” tab, select “Items.”
    b) Here, you can make adjustments to the marquee element, including changing the background color and text color and other settings such as border radius as needed.

    For a more detailed visual reference, I recommend consulting the following screenshots:https://imgur.com/a/nvWXgT9

    2) Additionally, we recommend using the XStore General Tabs for achieving the desired Block text. Below are the developer-friendly steps:

    Here is a step-by-step guide on how to implement this:

    a) Edit Any Page or Post with Elementor:
    Navigate to the page or post where you want to integrate the text slider. Utilize Elementor for easy customization.

    Add XStore General Tabs Widget:
    Once in the Elementor editor, locate the XStore General Tabs widget. Drag and drop this widget onto the desired section of your page.

    c) Configure XStore General Tabs Settings:

    In the Content section >> General, you can set the Layout and Horizontal style, such as Style 4 and others.
    In the Items section, edit the content of the tabs accordingly.

    Explore other sections like Style and Advanced for additional customization options.

    Hi Tony,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Thanks for the demo and screenshot, very helpful!

    Had a few more questions in regards to the marquee elements.

    —-

    2) Can we put the marquee element “on top” of a video or gif element?

    Please see PCA.

    3) Can we have moving elements such as arrows in the marquee element?

    Please see PCA.

    4) Can we make the marquee element smaller as in this website?

    Please see PCA.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello, @GTP,

    1) You’re welcome!

    2) Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. Regarding your question about placing the marquee element “on top” of a video or gif, yes, it is indeed possible.

    To achieve this, you can use the layering feature within Elementor to ensure that the marquee element is positioned above the video or gif element. Elementor provides a comprehensive documentation guide on layering elements, and you can find detailed instructions in the following link:https://elementor.com/academy/gradient-background-add-gradient-effects-to-wordpress/

    Additionally, for the dynamic background color change in the specific area, Elementor offers a versatile solution through gradient effects. To assist you in implementing this feature seamlessly, we recommend referring to the instructional video provided in the following link: https://www.veed.io/view/e6811163-2d3d-4f6d-9870-ee73490039f7?sharingWidget=true&panel=share .

    3) To address your concern, I’m pleased to inform you that you can indeed incorporate dynamic elements, including arrows, into the content of the XStore Marquee. The process is straightforward, and I’d be happy to guide you through it.

    Please follow these steps:

    a) XStore Marquee Settings >> Content>> General.
    b) Locate and click on the “Add Media” button within the editor.
    c) Select the media type you wish to add, such as images or icons, and choose the arrow element you prefer.
    d) Adjust the placement and styling options to suit your design preferences.

    For a visual reference, I have attached images illustrating these steps:https://imgur.com/a/Eh1eCor

    4) To address your request for a smaller marquee element, kindly follow the steps below:

    a) Navigate to the “Style” section within your website’s dashboard.
    b) Under “Items,” locate the “Typography” settings.
    c) Within the “Typography” settings, you will find an option to adjust the size of the content. You can set the desired size to make the marquee element smaller.
    d) Additionally, if you have incorporated any media elements, please be aware that you can also customize their sizes to align with your preferences.

    Hi Tony,

    2) Thank you – we will follow these steps!

    3) Can we make the elements (such as the house/home icon) you have provided in the screenshot – move when its hovered over such as on the competitor website (which is in the PCA)?

    If you hover over the arrows in the website/theme which is on the PCA, they move.

    Just curious if this can be replicated?

    4) Thank Tony, sorry we might have interpreted what we wanted incorrectly.

    We are trying to make the marquee element put inside a small container and have it “small” versus it appearing large (full width).

    If you see the website in the PCA, the words “Limited time 20% off” keep on moving (as in a marquee element) but the size of the element is very small and the element is inside a green container.

    – Can we put the marquee element inside a container and have the background color to be different? It is green as on the website which is on the PCA.

    – Can we have the element to be very small in size so it does not have to be the full width? The marquee element is inside a small container.

    5) Do you know what this marquee element is on top of? The background keeps on changing color in the background.
    Would that be a video element playing in the background or something else?

    Thanks for your help Tony!

    Hello, @GTP,

    2) You’re welcome! If you have any further questions or need assistance along the way, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help!

    3) After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that achieving the exact motion effect you’re looking for with the XStore marquee widget might not be feasible. However, we understand the importance of providing a dynamic and engaging user experience.

    As an alternative solution, we recommend utilizing the Elementor Image default widget. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

    a)Add the Elementor Image default widget to any section of your website.
    b)Upload the image you’d like to use, such as an arrow.
    c)In the widget settings, navigate to Advanced >> Motion Effect.
    d)Enable the mouse effect and set the Mouse track option.

    For your convenience, we have attached a visual reference in the provided image link:
    https://imgur.com/a/ZADetlM
    https://imgur.com/a/sH3IeiW .

    This approach allows you to incorporate a subtle motion effect when users hover over the image, creating a visually appealing interaction. We believe this solution can provide a similar dynamic feel to the user experience.

    Additionally, we have included documentation on the Elementor Scrolling Text Effect for your reference. This documentation offers insights into creating a custom marquee with different animations according to your preferences:https://elementor.com/academy/create-an-exit-scrolling-text-effect/

    4) We understand that you want to place the marquee element inside a small container with a distinct background color and have the element appear in a smaller size, not spanning the full width. We are pleased to inform you that achieving this customization is indeed possible.

    To implement the desired layout, kindly follow these steps:

    a)Add a four-column section to your webpage.
    b)Customize the background of the section by adding a background image or color of your choice. In your case, you mentioned a green background similar to the website on the PCA.
    c)Place the XStore Marquee element within the specific column where you want it to be displayed.
    d)Adjust the marquee settings to achieve the desired appearance. Specifically, navigate to the style section and customize the typography settings to make the marquee element smaller in size.

    For your convenience, we have prepared a visual reference to guide you through these steps. You can access it through the following image link:

    5) The effect you’re observing is indeed achievable through the use of a background video with color-changing properties. To implement this on your site, follow these steps:

    a)Add a container section to your webpage.
    b)Integrate a background video with color-changing effects into this container section. This will create the captivating backdrop that you’ve noticed behind the marquee element.
    c)Subsequently, place the XStore Marquee element on top of this container to achieve the overlay effect.
