Overview

Announcements are flexible surfaces used to group information in a full width banner layout, traditionally across the top of a page. They are used to announce new features, promos, or news.

<rh-announcement>
    <svg slot="image" width="80" height="48" role="img" aria-label="Sample image">
      <rect fill="light-dark(var(--rh-color-surface-dark, #383838), var(--rh-color-surface-light, #e0e0e0))" stroke="var(--rh-color-border-subtle)" stroke-width="2px" width="100%" height="100%" stroke-dasharray="4 4">

Sets color context for child components, overrides parent context

Make an announcement dismissable

Set the position of the image in the announcement on mobile viewports. Possible values are:

  • inline-start
  • block-start

Status

When to use

  • Display an important message across many pages or page types
  • Only to be implemented through the personalization program

Benefits

  • Profile - thin design that does not push content down too much
  • Lots of eyes - has the potential to be seen across many pages or page types
  • Minimal elements - only body text and a call to action are required at a minimum
  • Maximum visibility - spans the entire width of the browser window
  • Customization - includes slots for further customization like inline or background images
  • Control - if included, a close button offers a way for users to close the pattern
