In the Sprite tab you can set the name and size, whether the sprite has transparency and whether to create an Entity for the sprite (objects that can be used in the Level Editor as Players, Enemies, Scenery etc.)

Next, go to the Texture tab and click on the texture box. This will bring up a list of all available textures including the one you added to the textures folder. Select the new one and click OK.
