A selection box for enabling word wrap in the alarm list properties is essential. To insert a new line within the alarm text, you can use the \n command. Additionally, the behavior of text scrolling or marquee features is yet to be clarified.

That works perfectly, thank you, Jeebs!

Great suggestions! I’ve found that using word wrap is super helpful for keeping the message readable, but I also like the idea of a marquee effect for dynamic updates. It can be really eye-catching and ensures that important info doesn’t get missed, especially in a busy setting. Has anyone tried combining these approaches for optimal results?

Great suggestions! I’ve noticed that using a scrolling marquee really helps capture attention, especially if the content is longer. Additionally, tweaking the font size or even the background color can make a difference in visibility. It’s amazing how little changes can make such a huge impact on how we receive information!
