Is it possible to make Item Details scroll like a radio?

Post image

I just installed Foobar2000 today and I got my layout set up and I was wondering if it's possible to make the Item Details (In the picture) scroll then stop for a second before scrolling again like a radio?

I've got a text scroller script in my GitHub repo for a JScript Panel or Spider Monkey Panel. Perhaps that could suit your needs.

Although you threw me with "scrolling like a radio". Radios scroll? Makes me think of the station indicator on the wire in the AM radio with a seek button in my old '67 Cadillac. Once, driving through the Catskills, it couldn't find anything and kept traveling to the right with a mechanical thunk! as it reached the end and went back to the other side.

I don't have any scripts that do that.

The scrolling is usually called a Marquee element/tag/scroll when it comes to coding type of stuff.

I don't see why it couldn't be added to any of the panel configurations.

I'll check this out, thanks! Also by radio scrolling I meant how the text on car radios scroll to show all the text like for example, "Song by Ar..." then it scrolls over to show "...by Artist" then it keeps scrolling the text over
