Is that a custom Perspective component? That looks really nice. I wanted to build something like this using a popup window with an absolute position (haven’t looked into this too deeply)…

Thank you.  
Yes, its a custom perspective component.  
The type controls the color,  
The message is currently on a 2 second timer.

That’s really slick. I’ve been wanting to create a custom Perspective component that acts like a Bootstrap Alert component… still haven’t got around to it. Is there particular resources that helped you create a custom component?

A lot of time, trial and error mostly. lol Once I got their repo copied and was able to build it, I dug through it like Indiana Jones.
