Thais you should join the foruM! you seem to be helping a bit

[Thais]

yes it is, I didn't try yet... but you can try with other colours...
You can even try with different colours, but you won't get the spot light effect, but more like words changing colours...

take the 'move tool' (at the right side of the marquee tool) and select in the layer list the layer with the gradient, grab it, and put it to the right side of your sig or animation..
