When you've found a colour you like,
right click once and
the colour will go into the bottom Styles box. (If you wanted the colour
to go in the top Styles box, you'd left click.)

The text entry box will open
Type your text in the box then highlight it and choose
your font and text size
Make sure anti-alias and vector are checked
Click ok
Your text will have a box round it with little squares
on the corners and in the middle of each side. These are called nodes.
Move your mouse over a node on the right hand side and it will turn into
a double headed arrow, with your mouse, left click and drag the node
out. You will see your text stretches.
Do the same on the other side and the top and bottom
until your text is the size you want it
