Horizontal Scrolling Text Wizard
The left side of the dialog box contains the font property panels to choose the desired font from the list of available fonts, its size, style (bold or italized or both).  Immediately the preview of the font and its styles and size can be seen on the text in the preview canvas in the bottom right of the dialog.

The Transparent checkbox should be ticked on if a transparent background is desired, else a desired background color can be chosen. Default is white background.

The Delay between each frame can be provided in milliseconds in the provided textbox. The banner will scroll after every delay in milliseconds. If you want the banner to move faster, make the delay smaller.  * (see below)

The Scroll indicates the horizontal distance which the banner will scroll (slide horizontally) after each delay. Higher the scroll value, the banner will take less time to move from one end to the other. * 

The direction of the scrolling can be chosen to be either Left to Right or Right to Left.

The banner Width and Height (in pixels) can be provided in the appropriate textboxes. *

The Text to be displayed and scrolled is entered in the textbox provided in the lower left of the dialog. *

The top right side of the dialog contains a list of panels of available text effects. You can choose one of the text effects. Click one of the text effect panels to select it. Immediately the select panel will be surrounded by a red rectangle.  The properties of the selected text effect is displayed in the right side below the list of available text effect panels. Click here for more help on the various text effects. *

The color or the texture of the scrolling text can be selected and this is independent of the text effect chosen. You can also choose a texture to fill the text rather than choosing a color.

The scrolling text properties like text color/ texture, font, scrolling properties, text effect properties etc will change according to the selected properties immediately.

* To have these properties reflected in the scrolling banner preview, press the tab key to remove the cursor from the textbox. For example, once the delay has been modified, press tab and the scrolling banner in the preview will have its delay modified according to the specified value. Rather than pressing tab, you can also click the mouse  in any other textbox to remove the cursor from the ' delay' textbox.
