Theme 01 of 06 / The default theme
Marquee theme
Footlights switch on along the bottom of the page, a marquee sign drops in on chains with its bulbs chasing, and a ticket stub prints the repository name and a running performance number, all under a burst of paper confetti. It is the theme the whole extension is named after.

This is the real engine from the extension. Pick an event and a mood and the Marquee theme plays over a mock GitHub profile.
