You can change the font color by going to the text properties panel on the right side. The yellow rectangle shows the button for changing the font color.
To insert the text, put your mouse cursor in the text box, and type in the text you want to appear in the signature. Don't worry about the excessive space yet. It is recommended that you leave quite a bit of space in case you want to change the font type.
The text box can be resized by dragging the right side of the box to the appropriate size. Make sure that the mouse cursor changed to a double-pointed arrow. Leave the text aside for now. The next step is to insert an animation in to the signature.
Click on the Import Animation button as highlighted in the yellow rectangle. The insert animation window will appear. The types of animation files that can be inserted into the signature are swi, swf, exe and gif as shown in the image. This tutorial will make use of a gif file. Choose the animation file that you want to insert and click Open.
There are many options shown in the Import window. You can try playing with the options, but it's best to leave it be. Make sure all frames are selected. Click on Import to insert the animation into the signature. Then move or resize the animation until it fits in with the signature.
You can insert additional text or anything else you want in the signature before moving to the next step. The next step is apply animations to the objects in the signature.
