If you have not already you should download the latest test version of visualbB and walk through creating a basic titlescreen first. Now that you have the basics down, this will help you create a title screen that includes a scrolling element. This example uses the ex2-scroller images included with the titlescreen kernel download package.

1. Launch the Titlescreen wizard
2. Change the score font to RETROPUTER
3. Add 6 new kernels with the following settings
  a. Kernel = Draw_96x2_1
      	i. Image = robotron logo.png
      	ii. Click Set Colors and use these:
			$40
			$41
			$42
			$43
			$44
			$45
			$46
			$48
			$49
			$4a
			$4b
			$4c
      	iii. Keep the defaults for everything else
  b. Kernel = draw_48x1_1
      	i. Image = robotron scroller.bmp
      	ii. Height  = 40 (Changing the height here is key!)
      	iii. Check the Scrolling radial button
      	iv. Keep the defaults for everything else
  c. Kernel = draw_48x1_3
      	i. Image = 2084 logo.png
      	ii. Click Set colors and set to $1e
