1. Do you want to add it on top of another image or next to it? Just start up the engine, hit F10, and select loadingGui from the middle drop-down list. Then from the left drop-down list, select GuiBitmapCtrl and give it the properties you want on the right side. Alternatively, you can edit the loadingGui.gui file.

2, 3, 5. To edit color/text and other properties of a gui, first check which profile it's using (i.e. GuiDefaultProfile, GuiWindowProfile, etc.) and edit it's properties in the customProfiles.cs and defaultGameProfiles.cs files. I recommend you create your own custom profile though.

4. Make sure you set "horizSizing" and "vertSizing" to relative. You also need to set it's parent controls to relative also.

If you play around a little with the GUI Editor, and the .gui files, you'd be surprised on how much you'll learn by changing properties.
