        Thanks!
        Glad you like it.

        What did you have to tinker with to get it working?

              Add this to custom.css, Make the changes you want in it…

              .MMM-NewsFeedTicker {
                  height: 100px;
                  background-color: maroon;
                  opacity: 1.0;
              }
              
              .MMM-NewsFeedTicker .headline {
                  padding-top: 15px;
                  font-size: 100%;
              }
              
              .MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
                height: 100px;
                background-color: #FFF;
              }
              

              Let me know if you have any problems with this.

              I am glad that you like it! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

              I added the lines to the custom.css and adjusted as follows. I still see the scrolling text as full size / cut off (screenshot of section included…

              .MMM-NewsFeedTicker {
                  height: 50px;
                  background-color: maroon;
                  opacity: 0.5;
              }
              
              .MMM-NewsFeedTicker .headline {
                  padding-top: 15px;
                  font-size: 50%;
              }
              
              .MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
                height: 50px;
                background-color: #FFF;
              }

                My Apologies for the issues you are having, but, I am looking over the code to make these fixes and I am not seeing any of the problems you are describing…

                Any way you could show me the specific places these errors are occurring?

                I ran it through an error checker and it’s not finding any errors…

                Th example config on your git page is missing a trailing ‘}’ This is why people have had issues adding to their config.js

                    Another apology…

                    When I was working with this module I had the font set to xlarge or large in the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js file.

                    It makes it easier for these old eyes to see changes,

                    So, in the following section of the js file…

                     var headline = document.createElement("span");
                                    headline.setAttribute("style", "padding-bottom:25px");
                                    headline.className = "bold xlarge bright";
                                    headline.innerHTML = "<font color= #ffaa00>" + moment(new Date(this.newsItems[this.activeItem].pubdate)).fromNow() + ": &nbsp;" + "</font>" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title + "&nbsp; || &nbsp;" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].description;
                                    tickerBody.appendChild(headline);
                    

                    Change the ‘xlarge’ to small

                                This has resolved the issue I had. I tried small and it was a little too small so I set that value to medium and it’s perfect for me. Thank you for pointing this out and providing the solution! Now this will stream my news.

                                  I am glad that you like it! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

                                  Concerning adjusting the opacity of the colored bar, how to I set it to 50%? I tried 0.5 and it didn’t seem to make any difference. Thanks again!

                                      Well, you might think about changing the color or having no color.

                                      I just worked with it going all the way down to 0.1 and this is the result:

                                      0_1540513439867_Screenshot (156).png

                                      this is without a background color…

                                      0_1540513583820_Screenshot (157).png

                                      just change background-color: maroon; to background: none;
