# How to Add Neon Glow Marquee to the Refresh Theme

Eye-catching neon effects with glitch animation and rainbow text options. Features smooth scrolling, direction control, pause on hover, and customizable glow intensity. This guide shows how to add the Neon Glow Marquee section to the Refresh theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Refresh's code. Refresh is a free theme by Shopify, known for editorial layouts and generous whitespace — and announcement bars like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Neon Glow Marquee fits Refresh

Marquees, tickers and rotating bars that push promotions, shipping thresholds and urgency without touching your theme. On Refresh, Neon Glow Marquee slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Refresh's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Refresh setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Neon Glow Marquee” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Announcement Bars category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Refresh theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Refresh uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Refresh theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Neon Glow Marquee” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Refresh font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Neon Glow Marquee work with the Refresh theme?

Yes. Refresh is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Neon Glow Marquee installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Refresh's theme editor as “SShop:Neon Glow Marquee”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Neon Glow Marquee match Refresh's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Refresh's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Neon Glow Marquee free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Neon Glow Marquee is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Refresh theme and keeps working.
