Great.
Your issue is the point I mentioned in one of my earlier messages. The
widget is not really designed to keep the text visible all the time, it's
more like a notification.
I can make the change in the latest version but, for your version, I think
the best you can do is increase the scroll_wait_interval as this impacts
how long until the text appears. However, it also impacts the time before
the text starts scrolling.
