Hover over this demo to see the Bullets Screen in action!
Since WordPress Tooltips Pro 5.9.2 back in 2018 (today we are at v35.9.8 in 2025), we’ve been building the Bullet Screen effect for WordPress Tooltip users—and the feedback has been amazing! Users love it, and we’re excited to show you why.
What is a Bullet Screen?
A Bullet Screen (also called “Danmaku” in some regions like Korea or China) is a fun and interactive way to display scrolling messages, slogans, quotes, news titles, or quick tips across the screen—right on top of your content.
For example, popular global sites like viki.com use this to create lively, engaging experiences for their readers.
✨ Bullet Screen transforms your WordPress posts—your content becomes interactive, eye-catching, and memorable!
Next-Level Bullet Screens – GIFs, Images, and More
We recently enhanced WordPress Bullet Screen for WordPress Tooltips Pro Plus Plugin. Now you can add:
GIFs
SVGs
PNGs / JPEGs
Text messages
Imagine this: You’re writing a story about a historical hero. When a user hovers over the hero’s name:
A tooltip pops up with the hero’s story.
A portrait GIF slowly floats upward.
Then, a prayer appears.
Flowers bloom.
Finally, the hero’s hometown landscape scrolls by.
❤️ Your readers get an immersive, unforgettable experience.
How to Set Up Bullet Screen in WordPress

Now your Bullet Screen is ready to use across your WordPress site: posts, menus, comments, tags, titles, WooCommerce shop, product descriptions, sidebars, bbPress forums, BuddyPress activity, and more.
Adding Bullet Screen to a Tooltip
Login to WordPress dashboard
Go to Tooltips → Edit a Tooltip
In the Tooltip Editor, find the “Bullet Screen Words” metabox (right-hand side)
You can enter either text or image or video codes. For example:
<img src=’https://tooltips.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/bear-134_128.gif’ />
This will make a cute bear GIF float upward when users hover the tooltip term.
Tip: Separate multiple items with commas:
<img src=’https://tooltips.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/bear-134_128.gif’ />,
<img src=’https://tooltips.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/cat-133_128.gif’ />,
Happy New Year!
Each hover randomly displays a bullet from your list!
