Customizing the CSS animation

If you want to fully customize the CSS animation keep on reading this!

Default animation is marqueeTextIndent {0}s linear infinite. You can customize it with the built in keyframes CSS animations or define a new one. The {0} part is replaced by CSSMarquee with the speed configuration parameter.

CSSMarquee includes 4 keyframes CSS animations in the style.css file:

marqueeTextIndent (used in default animation). Animates the text-indent property. Animation is from right to left.
marqueeTextIndentReverse. Animates the text-indent property. Animation is from left to right.
marqueeTranslateX. Uses translateX to animate. Animation is from right to left.
marqueeTranslateXReverse. Uses translateX to animate. Animation is from left to right.

The definitions of both in the style.css file are:

@keyframes marqueeTextIndent {
    0%   { text-indent: 100% }
    100% { text-indent: var(--marquee-text-size) }
}

@keyframes marqueeTextIndentReverse {
    0%   { text-indent: var(--marquee-text-size)  }
    100% { text-indent: 100% }
}

@keyframes marqueeTranslateX {
    0%   { transform: translateX( 100% ) }
    100% { transform: translateX( var(--marquee-text-size) ) }
}

@keyframes marqueeTranslateXReverse {
    0%   { transform: translateX( var(--marquee-text-size) ) }
    100% { transform: translateX( 100% ) }
}

The --marquee-text-size CSS variable is set by CSSMarquee. Its value depends on the length of the text to animate.

Of course, if you are not going to use one of them you do not need to include it in you CSS files.

Another option is to define a new keyframes CSS animation in one of your CSS files and customize the animation option to use it.
