The "Marquee" Console Footer Component - Has Anyone Actually Gotten This to Work?

Calling on the Service Cloud & Visualforce community for this one - there are a couple examples of a marquee console footer component (links below):
  1. https://developer.salesforce.com/page/The_%22Marquee%22_Console_Footer_Component
  2. https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/sfdc/pdf/service_dev.pdf
Both approaches are essentially analagous in structure; i.e. exposing a VF page which displays a chatter post in a marquee fashion as a console footer component.

I've tried both code & configuration examples in a developer sandbox and have not been successful.

Has anyone gotten this to work for them?  If I make any headway, I will post back in this question for the community.

Thank you!

Shalom

Welp, after logging a case with Salesforce support (and multiple follow-up calls), I was told that because these code samples contain Javascript & CSS, they're "not supported" & therefore the case is closed.

I don't understand why Salesforce would post & publish code examples that evidently don't work & contain components they don't want to support.  Big fail here on their part and I'm as perplexed by the response as the initial problem.

Happy to pay this back with beer - a la Steve Molis - or any beverage of your choice if you can get this to work!  If I figure it out, I'll post back too.
