Aldrich: Marquee layout

The Marquee layout consists of a heading and optional snippet overlaid on a background visual with up to three optional widgets displayed underneath.

How this works

Presentation options

The Presentation Data Definition group is collapsed by default. Expand the group to access the contained fields.

Text

Text alignement

Selection	What this means	What this triggers

Selection	What this means	What this triggers
Left	Left-aligns the marquee text.	N/A
Center	Centers the marquee text.	N/A

Text color

Selection	What this means	What this triggers

Selection	What this means	What this triggers
Dark	Dark marquee text will be displayed and a light-colored translucent overlay will be inserted between the text and background image.	N/A
Light	Light marquee text will be displayed and a dark-colored translucent overlay will be inserted between the text and background image.	N/A

The marquee overlays are coded to provide the minimum contrast to meet accessibility guidelines. However, if you still find the marquee text difficult to read, you can provide additional contrast via your media selection and treatment (i.e., using a tonally-darker or lighter visual).

Text area width

Heading

Enter the marquee heading using the Text Data Definition field.

Snippet

Enter the marquee snippet using the Content WYSIWYG. If you don’t want a snippet, you can safely leave this field blank.

Media

Image

Select the marquee background image using the file chooser.

Aspect ratio

The aspect ratio of the marquee is the ratio of its width to its height. If left as ‘auto’ the height of the marquee will match that of its text content. You can adjust this by entering a desired aspect ratio using w:h syntax.

If the entered aspect ratio causes the text to overflow, the marquee will automatically increase its height to prevent that. In this case, the actual aspect ratio of the marquee will not match the provided aspect ratio.
