Step 1: Install the App

Start by installing the Sections Jungle app as seen below, you'll find the Text Scroller and much more:

Find the Text Scroller section using the search bar, the popup will list all the features and customization options it includes. After clicking Install, choose the theme where you want the scroller to appear and click Install again. Once the installation is complete, open your Customize page to begin editing.

Step 2: Add the SJ Text Scroller Section

Inside the Theme Editor, open the page where you’d like to display your scroller. Click Add section on the left-hand menu and search for SJ Text Scroller.

Once added, you’ll immediately see your text or images smoothly scrolling across the screen. The section is fully responsive and adapts perfectly to desktop and mobile views.

Step 3: Basic Setup & Global Styling

Start by adding text or image blocks to your scroller. By default, any customization you make, such as font size, spacing, colors, or borders, applies to all blocks, keeping a consistent look across your scroller. You can also set the scrolling direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) and adjust speed separately for desktop and mobile devices.

If needed, you can enable individual block customization for specific blocks, allowing unique fonts, colors, spacing, or links for each item while still maintaining global defaults for the rest.

Step 4: Advanced Design & Styling (Optional)

Take your scroller further by customizing the background color, text gradients, and more. You can fine-tune padding, top and bottom spacing, and even apply a subtle inclination tilt for extra visual flair. Pause-on-hover and link behaviors can also be adjusted for a more interactive experience.

All advanced settings respect the global defaults unless individual block customization is toggled on, making it easy to create both cohesive and varied scroller content.
