On the Timeline

• Duration: Drag the left or right edge of the sticker bar on the timeline track to control how long it stays on screen.
• Position: Drag the entire bar left or right to change when it appears.

Customizing Appearance

Use the Inspector Panel (left side) to style your selected sticker:

• Text: Type inside the text box to add a label to your sticker.
• Color: Choose a background color.
• Border: Adjust border thickness and color.
• Roundness: Make corners sharp or fully rounded.
• Tail Position (Bubble only): Adjust where the speech bubble tail points.

💡 Recipe: Pure Text Label

To create a floating text label without a box:

1. Add a Rectangle sticker.
2. Enter your text in the Inspector.
3. Set Border Width to 0.
4. Set Background Color opacity to 0% (or choose "Transparent" if available, otherwise match the background).
   • Tip: Currently, you can pick a color that matches your background or use a minimal style.

💡 Recipe: Highlighter

To highlight a section of text or code:

1. Add a Rectangle sticker.
2. Choose a bright color (Yellow, Green).
3. Adjust Opacity (if supported) or use a thin Border only to frame the content without covering it.
