*Text Animation Settings* can be used to customize your animated text. Create a new *Text Animation Settings* object by right-clicking in your project folder, then `Create > Stix Games > Text Animations for UI Toolkit > Text Animation Settings`. Then add the new object to your animated text element in UI builder.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to add your Text Animation Settings to all your animated text elements in UI Builder, or the settings won't have any effect.
{% endhint %}

## Changing Text Animation Settings at runtime

It's possible to change animation settings at runtime, but some of the settings may not update unless you regenerate your text, i.e. by changing `text` on your animated text element.
