EasyBar: Awesome Notification Bar is a lightweight, highly functional plugin designed to display customizable notification, announcement, or promotion bars.
It utilizes pure JavaScript to minimize impact on performance and includes advanced features like a countdown timer and several scrolling text (marquee) modes.
IMPORTANT FOR REVIEWERS: 
Upon activation, the plugin is enabled by default with a moving “Alternate Scroll” animation. You will see a blue moving notification bar on the frontend immediately.
Where to find settings:

Ideal for: 
* Announcing sales and limited-time promotions with a deadline. 
* Displaying critical site-wide alerts (e.g., shipping delays). 
* Showing urgent calls-to-action to maximize conversions.
<h3>✳️ Main Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Countdown Timer: Simple, precise timer utilizing UTC time standards.</li>
<li>Expiration Handling: Automatically replaces the timer with a custom “Expired Text” or hides the bar completely when the deadline is reached.</li>

<li>Lightweight: Zero jQuery dependency for a faster front-end experience.</li>
