It's time to add some stylish text. You can use any font. I used Ben Pioneer. It's easy to install it. Unpack it to any folder, and go to Start-Control Panel-Fonts, and choose File-Install New Font. In the left small window find our font, and unclick Copy fonts to Fonts Folder, that way you can easily uninstall this font in case you don't like it.

I'll make my text blue (don't worry, that it doesn't look cool yet):0):
