# Announcement bar settings

Announcement bar section settings and options

Broadcast includes several options to customize the announcement bar in the header area fully. You can choose from different styles like a slider or scrolling announcement bar and add rich blocks to enhance the promotional information for your customers:

### Layout options

The layout settings include an option to toggle a border and choose the style of the announcement bar to display.

#### Border

Toggle the border option to help separate the announcement bar and the rest of the header content. This can be helpful when using a similar background for both the announcement bar and the header:

#### Slider or Scrolling text

Choose between two message display styles:

* The **Slider** option fades the current message out and fades in a new message when multiple message blocks are added. The "Autoplay speed" setting determines when messages rotate. Arrows can be displayed so customers can navigate through multiple messages.&#x20;
* The **Scrolling text** option auto-scrolls messages across the browser or device width, similar to a marquee effect. Use the "Autoplay speed" setting to adjust the scrolling speed. The "Space between the message" option increases or decreases the message gap. &#x20;

#### Colors

Choose background and text colors for your announcement bar. Use a blank value for transparency.

#### Section padding

Customize the top and bottom padding of the announcement bar. &#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://broadcast.presidiocreative.com/broadcast-v5/header/announcement-bar-settings/announcement-bar-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
