Elementor widgets: a scroll-reactive marquee, an interactive list, and an image/text marquee.

== Description ==

**DCI Addons for Elementor** is an independent add-on that extends [Elementor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) with three custom widgets built by Dreamcode Infotech. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by Elementor Ltd.

= Included Widgets =

* **Vertical Marquee** — a scroll-reactive marquee cards section. Cards animate in a continuous loop, vertically or horizontally, and react to the visitor's scroll direction in real time, creating an engaging portfolio or gallery section.
* **Interactive List** — a reusable interactive list/card-row widget for services, features, capabilities, process steps, product highlights, and similar content, with desktop hover reveal and mobile tap-to-expand.
* **Image/Text Marquee** — a continuously scrolling logo/text ticker, ideal for client logos, keyword tickers, or brand strips, with configurable separators and edge fade masks.

= Key Features =

* **Vertical Marquee**: dual direction (vertical/horizontal), scroll-reactive animation, multi-column layout, per-card controls (image, tag, title, description, link), alternate direction per column/row, pause on hover, edge fade masks, and full styling from the Elementor Style tab.
* **Interactive List**: unlimited repeater items, per-item icon/image, kicker, title, description, tags, item link, per-item accent color, automatic numbering, and extensive style controls (backgrounds, borders, shadows, typography, spacing).
* **Image/Text Marquee**: image, text, or image+text items, adjustable scroll speed and direction, pause on hover, edge fade, and configurable separators (dot, character, or image).
* **Responsive** — works across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints.
* **Accessible** — animations respect the visitor's `prefers-reduced-motion` browser setting.

= Requirements =

* WordPress 6.0 or higher
* PHP 7.4 or higher
* [Elementor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) 3.0 or higher (free version is sufficient)
