Effect Marquee
Classic scrolling marquee light border with configurable band width, skip, thickness, and stagger.
| Parameter | Type | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Band Size | slider | 1-100 | Number of consecutive lit pixels in each color band of the marquee pattern |
| Skip Size | slider | 0-100 | Number of unlit (dark) pixels between each color band; zero means bands are placed back-to-back with no gap |
| Thickness | slider | 1-100 | Number of concentric marquee rings drawn inward from the outer edge, each offset by one pixel toward the center |
| Stagger | slider | 0-50 | Offsets the starting position of each concentric ring so inner rings appear shifted relative to outer rings, creating a spiral-like look |
| Speed | slider | 0-50 | How fast the marquee pattern moves around the perimeter; zero freezes the animation |
| Start Pos | slider | 0-100 | Initial offset position for the marquee pattern along the perimeter |
| Reverse | checkbox | true/false | When enabled, the marquee pattern moves in the opposite direction around the perimeter |
| Scale X | slider | 1-100 | Scales the marquee rectangle width as a percentage; values below 100 shrink the marquee horizontally |
| Scale Y | slider | 1-100 | Scales the marquee rectangle height as a percentage; values below 100 shrink the marquee vertically |
| Offsets In Pixels | checkbox | true/false | When enabled, the X-axis Center and Y-axis Center values are interpreted as absolute pixel counts instead of percentages of the buffer size |
| X-axis Center | slider | -100 to 100 | Horizontal offset of the marquee center; shifts the entire marquee rectangle left or right |
| Wrap X | checkbox | true/false | When enabled, pixels that move past the left or right edge wrap around to the opposite side instead of being clipped |
| Y-axis Center | slider | -100 to 100 | Vertical offset of the marquee center; shifts the entire marquee rectangle up or down |
| Wrap Y | checkbox | true/false | When enabled, pixels that move past the top or bottom edge wrap around to the opposite side instead of being clipped |
Settings are organized into two tabs in the effect UI: Settings (Band Size through Reverse) and Position (Scale X through Wrap Y). X-axis Center and Y-axis Center are also exposed together as an X/Y center picker control alongside the Position tab sliders.
Increase Thickness to draw multiple nested marquee borders at once, and pair it with Stagger for a spiral look. Use Offsets In Pixels when you need to position the marquee by exact pixel counts rather than percentage of the buffer. Enable Wrap X / Wrap Y if shifting the center offset should carry pixels around to the opposite edge instead of clipping them.
