MPA Announcement Bar

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. The option to choose a gradient is actually designed so you can use both solid colors and gradients. If you'd like a solid color, just select the same color for both sides of the gradient - this will display as a single solid background.

All customization options are built inside Shopify's theme extension, and we're limited to the controls Shopify provides. We chose the color_background controller because it supports every scenario in the most reliable way.

If you'd like, we'd be happy to guide you step by step to set up your announcement bar exactly how you want it. Please reach out to us anytime - we'll make sure it looks right for your store.

If this clears things up, we'd really appreciate it if you could reconsider your review, as ratings have a big impact on small developers like us.
