Very good, congratulations...
Trying to get it working in Mac OSX 14.2 . Having difficulty where to install the plugins or files
It took some time to get things configured and figure out the best way to use this plugin for my church, but now that I have that done, it's a really amazing.

@drinkwithrick asked the question about having the lower third cover the entire width of the screen and I was able to solve that for style 1 by uncommenting the section at the bottom of the stylesheet that says:

/*Uncomment to full with background in the style 1*/

This gives me a bar that goes across the entire display with the background color that I choose in the control panel interface. Hope that helps anyone else that wants that functionality as well.
This is a great solution to dynamic lower 3rds.

I'm using it for news broadcasts.

I'd like to understand how we can lock the LT to center of 1920 no matter the size of the text which dictates the length of the LT.

Possible to provide the ability to select (checkbox) any of the 10 slots to include/exclude from rotation. As well, a randomize slots function.

Thank you so much! Great work!
Wow, nice upgrade over the last, rounded corners and board are a nice touch.
Awesome tool!
Great! Fantástico.
Makes our live productions more professional and beauty.
Weaknesses that must be fixed: the location of the logo should be LOGOS, this makes the path we have to open too deep and long. The solution should be in any local folder, and if possible, just use a drag and drop system to place the LOGO image, it's much more productive and fast. I'm sure all users of this plugin will really like the drag and drop way to replace the logo.

10 slots for each Lower Third, there should be 10 enable/disable buttons for each of those 10 slots, just below those 10 slots.

So we can fill all 10 slots but easily choose which number slots we will show when broadcasting / live streaming / video recording. Thus the 10 slots that we have filled (change LOGO, change NAME, change INFO) we are not tired of repeatedly deleting and changing typing and that is over and over again when I have to teach live streaming (say) 10 of my private students.

Here's an example:
Fixed slots for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (at LT1) for each live streaming/private teaching. Then for another live stream I just need to change slots 2 and 4 and everything else remains the same. And so on until (say) 10 private online students.
This is wonderful, half an hour to set it right but with the short keys.. its awesome1 Many thanks NoeAL
Works great!
Nice work! For those who asking about logo, make sure you put the logo into the right folder (Logos folder)
Nice Plugin!
Can't get custom fonts to work properly though. :(
After adding it only shows the first Letter of the input name and doesn't change to the respective font but uses a standard one.
Also would like to have the logo option on a centered Lower Third.
Other than that great plugin! :)
This is a great tool, and the developer obviously put in a lot of work to perfect it, and although it does work, there are a couple of shortcomings. First, there is no way to stretch it out across the entire width of the lower third of the screen, like most conventional lower thirds. If I try, it increases the overall size of the lower third itself. I don't really care for the blocky style and would like a way to customize it so it can go nearly edge to edge like on a typcal news program or documentary.
Second, and this is a real big one, there doesn't seem to be a way to assign each lower third or its memory slots to its own scene independently without displaying the other lower thirds as well. In other words, If I have Lower Third 1 assigned to a scene and Lower Third 2 assigned to a different scene, there is no apparent way to display just one of them without the other showing up with it, unless I first turn the one I don't want in the scene off before switching to that scene. For instance, if Scene 1 uses a Lower Third "Bob" and Scene 2 uses Lower Third "Mary" and I want to switch from Scene 1 to Scene 2, I first have to disable LT1 "Bob" and enable LT2 "Mary" before switching to Scene 2, or else "Bob" will also show up on Scene 2 along with "Mary". This is very cumbersome and doesn't make a lot of sense. It is also quite dumb from the perspective of a broadcast switcher. If there is a way to do this, I have no idea, because the documentation is all but non existent and I've had to figure most of this stuff out either through my own experimentation or by watching YouTube videos from others who had to do the same. If not for these two items, I would give it 5 stars and donate $$, but unfortunately it's not quite there yet.
Great work
What a underrated tool and work! It is a real great helper.
I have installed it at OBS 31.0.3 at my Mac Studio M2 and it runs perfect. You must only change the path to file:/// and uncheck "local file" as in other posts described. Boom. I only miss a short description "How to create own CSS styles". Yes, it has something to do with the style-source.css - but it is much difficult than expected :-)

The connection between an OBS dock and an interactive browser source, the option to manipulate content via dock directly, is fascinated and should be more in focus. Great tool and - again - it works still in 2025. And at a Mac too.
Great plugin, I love it!
Hi I just installed it on a MAC! It's working with OBS v27 RC2 on High Sierra. When I saw that amongst updates is custom browser docks i was hopping its gonna work and it did. At first i was getting an error but after repeating all instalation steps and restarting OBS dock with a control panel appeared and its working as it should. :-)
Brilliant plug-in!
I have seen several reviews and it seems like a great tool.
Do you think it would work in an M4 Sequoia with OBS 31.1.2?
(Sorry, I wrote a similar request but accidentally posted it in response to another topic.)
Unfortunately, I am not able to run it in OBS studio, please help
