What exactly did you dock? browser-source OR control-panel?
You should be docking the control-panel.html, then add the browser-source,html as a Browser Source in OBS
You can register the lower-thirds_hotkeys.Lua file in OBS Script window to add Hotkeys functionality.

Looks like it does not read CSS files linked to the controller, probably after copy-pasting files between different location. Make sure all plugin's files on your PC remain the same structure as in the .zip.

Saw a review of this plugin, installed using the scenario, but with no results: all is blue, but showing nothing in the screen.

Animated lower thirds do not work since I have upgraded to Windows 11. I have tried everything to get it going again but to no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I even got rid of it from OBS and downloaded and reinstalled and set it up and still will not work.

The 'control-panel.html' is bad. It shows a list of names with Positions in brackets around them. It says "Lower thirds list" at the top. See attached

Assume the files are in this folder C:\obstools\obslower3rds\lower thirds\

In Browser Source:
  1. Uncheck local files
  2. The URL needs to file:///C:/obstools/obslower3rds/lower%20thirds/browser-source.html
in Custom Dock
  1. The URL needs to file:///C:/obstools/obslower3rds/lower%20thirds/control-panel.html
Adjust to the path of your files.

Until today, I had not been able to get anything to work with lower thirds. I finally got the dock to appear correctly, but now the browser source isn't displaying for either the original program, nor the simple lower thirds you just posted. I found I didn't have the correct direction slash in the file reference for the dock, so once corrected, I got the dock back, but no matter how I set up the slashes for the browser source, I can't seem to get it to display for me.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong here? I had Animated lower thirds working until the last update, and since then, I have been struggling with it.

Ok, I resolved my issue with unchecking the hardware acceleration for browsers in the settings. It has taken me all this time to figure it out smh... I have fully functioning LTs now, and I am excited for it. Another question I have is for the logo for the animated lower third: What dimensions and file type is it limited to? I have a jpg that I have shrunk down to 50x48 pixels, but it still won't work.

I recommend the png file type e.g. logo.png
The sizes can vary, 400x225 is fine
The logos must be in this folder path - /common/images/
e.g. c:\obstuff\simplelower3rds\common\images\

I've been using the plug-in for about a year now, love it. But....

The last month, I've built up 30-40 slots (takes a while!) only to have all of the slots disappear next time I load up obs... I've never had this problem, and now it has happened twice this month... I'm still on the last 27 update... Waiting for 28 to get everything working smoothly...

Is this because of the 28 update? Should I wait to fill back up all of my slots? Or is something else happening?
