| **Band Size** | Controls the proportion ( % wise) of the circumference of the marquee effect that the pixels will light up. |
| **Skip Size** | Controls the proportion (% wise) of the circumference of the marquee that will be skipped by the pixel color ie will be dark. |
| **Thickness** | Controls the thickness of the marquee effect ie how many pixels wide. |

Defined as number of Pixels from -100 to + 100 if ‘Offset in Pixels is ticked
