I found this golden nugget of code which displays the date/time in the upper right hand corner.

It got me thinking. There is so much wasted space on the top banner bar, it would be nice to put some type of scrolling text (right to left or top to bottom) in the empty void from an input from msg.payload. Maybe that space could be used for a simple status, who knows. It's endless.

Now I know zero about Java script so I basically have no idea what I need to modify, but figure all you smart javascript css chaps out there could probably whip up something in 2 mins to take an input and scroll some text in this space....

Maybe something else exists out there, but I haven't been able to find it.
