Coloured words and scrolling text

Give single words their own colour, and make text scroll like a news ticker.

Coloured words: in a text source's properties, select some words in the text, pick a colour and press Colour the selected text. It writes [#ff8800]your words[/] around them, which you can also type yourself, with a colour name like [red]…[/], [cyan]…[/] or [gold]…[/]. Colours can go inside each other. To show a real "[", type "[[".

Scrolling (a ticker): turn on Scrolling in the text's properties. Choose the direction, the speed (pixels a second), the size of the box it moves through (for a banner across the bottom, the width of your canvas), and the gap before the text comes round again. Long messages, sponsor lines and "follow for more" tickers all work this way.

Spinning: any item can keep turning, logos especially: properties › Transform › Spin, in degrees a second (360 is once a second; minus turns the other way).
