[FEATURE REQUEST] Scroll icon along with long text #123

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hello ;) Our matrix has low resolution and size, they can not contains too much text to display, that why we use long-text scrolling. For now, I can to call many variants of services to display icon+long text, and long-text will scroll. But there is no way to scroll icon along with text, icon always displays and uses 25% of screen (8x8 px).

Describe the solution / feature you'd like

It would be great to have possibility to scroll icon along with text (off the screen), like it does Awtrix. Thats save 25% of matrix space, to display more letters at the same moment.

Additional context

Here is some video of Awtrix text scroll, what i mean. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vj6Mb0sN__ide0T__dQGNk2aqG63QSFF/view?usp=sharing

Thank you!
