O boy, this will be a major challenge for the holidays 
using the vertical marquee here with local weather, so cool!
feature request: instead of this being the header-text, could you add a filler variable to be displayed in the header, next to the header-text? Id really love it to show the name of the instance, and then the marquee…
Maybe this could be solved by changing the marquee template to have a fixed spot for the instance name (which now default to the lovelace title) ? dont think the title is available as a builtin variable yet ? https://maykar.github.io/custom-header/#templates/builtin
Since the title is just static text I don’t think I’ll add it as a variable. You could make a stationary div next to the scroller with the text that you want in it, but I’m not about to start taking requests to write custom header templates 
that would get out of hand quickly.
Can it be done the other way round?
i.e. Menu in the header, marquee in the footer.
I’m not sure I completely understand what you’re looking for, but split mode puts the buttons and header text in one and tabs in the other and can be flipped by making footer mode true. I don’t think I’ll make it so you can mix and match elements around.
I mean use split mode, keep the views menu up top and have the marquee at the bottom.
new to this div’ing so not sure why it is above instead of next to the marquee…

Ha Rpi4:
<div id=flipper><div id=flip><div><div>

{{states('sensor.br_symbol')}}</div></div><div><div>
{{states('sensor.dark_sky_hourly_summary')}}</div></div><div><div>
{{states('sensor.dark_sky_summary')}}</div></div><div><div>
also, the bottom sensor template (‘Helder’ in the marquee) only is displayed very shortly as you can see, is there an error in the code that causes that, or should it be there longer…
now see the long text is displayed on top of itself on my mobile device… have to find a way to change that yet…
still, very nice this is possible at all.
The first element and last element should be the same, that’s what gives it the illusion of looping. This is kind of an accidental feature of Custom Header and I don’t really want to start doing “how to code in HTML and CSS”, but…
Replace Ha Rpi4: with this <div style='float: left'>Ha Rpi4: </div>
If you start adding more than 3 elements you’ll need to edit the keyframes. A tip for this would be using multiples of 48px for the margins in the keyframes.
thanks!, that helped.
sure, appreciated. It would be a great idea though to create a separate header in the community on best practices and examples for Html and CSS, especially since so many custom cards start relying on it.
Don’t know if we can do this as ‘ordinary’ members, but otherwise I would certainly invite you to do so as one of the main dev’s !
I would say that I am much closer to an ordinary member of this community than a dev. I only really started coding about a year and a half ago when I picked up HA for the first time. Though I’ve learned a bit during that time, thanks mainly to the other developers in the community, I’m probably the last person anyone should go to for best practices.
Hi I have copied your code and it comes up with this.

The button text options works fine without the Header Text.
Mind sharing your whole config so I can see what’s outside the exception?
Mainly looking for config options that are using double quotes, see the last important note
a ok, cool.
I made an exception config for the iPhone in the meantime, using @ludeeus horizontal marquee, which works fine in itself.
It does show the odd ‘n’ after each line and header though, don’t know how ro get rid of them. Since I already use the >- multiline indicator, I would have hoped this to be sufficient blocking the new lines? Maybe that is something in the footer itself, because I almost literally copied @ludeeus entry, and his screen movie clearly shows its working alright in the header.
This is my exception:

yes, that works indeed… other than the blank lines in my template, what else did you change? Must have been another edit, because deleting all blank lines only solves the 2 n’s after Ha Rpi4. They’re still there at the end of the other lines? Copying your edit works 100%.
Though I know you are reluctant to create a How to CSS and HTML here, would you allow me one please? Id love to have the marquee scroll on 1 line, and start after the fixed Ha Rpi4: , just as in the vertical marquee
could that be possible here also?

The n’s are because you added indents to my posted code:
Use this:

This is working for me, replaced some double quotes where they weren’t needed, changed indenting a bit, removed comments (I’m using storage mode so they automatically get stripped). Couldn’t tell you which fixed it, sorry, just kind of went through the whole thing at once.

ok thanks Ryan, this works perfectly now (have to study your remarks on indents, because in my current code, this doesnt cause any n’s).
The div works perfectly, and exactly as I want it, very very nice indeed!
Shortened(simplified) the namespace setup of the original entry, because I don’t need that (now) and filtered the output of the dark sky sensors a bit, because some of them use a period in the state, which I don’t want…
