Glow is not selected by default when using the preset Text Sequence behavior. However,
the Color well is still accessible.

Without selecting the Glow checkbox, choose a color in the Color well of the Glow controls.
Important:
Selecting the Glow checkbox results in an additive effect: The values defined
in the Style pane are added to those in the sequence behavior. This may cause the preset
to change in appearance.
