It would be nice to be able to activate a banner message (temporarily) that would appear at the top of all pages, and be easy to change (for all pages) without having to go in and add a line of code to every page, and then remove it when the message needs to be taken off. I'm visualizing the traffic signs that go over interstate and can be used to broadcast messages on accidents and Amber Alerts. This would be extremely useful, to make sure that no matter what page a user is on, they can see the most current message being broadcast, applying to all pages, with the message able to be changed quickly and easily when the next broadcast message is needed. Thanks.
This can already be done with live templates and includes. Put your message or banner on a page called "Message" and then do an include in each category's live template page (category:_template) with the syntax [[include message]] before the %%content%% line. You only need to change the message once on the Message page for it to then appear across the whole site. If you haven't got a current message then just delete the contents on the Message page.
Michael if you need more help with doing this please post on the community forum.

It would be possible to do it with CSS too, so you didn't need to put something in every live template and whichever way you do it, it could appear in the header.
Both RobElliott and rurwin are right. This can be done both by CSS and live templates much easier than by creating special functionality for this purpose. Rejecting.
