Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Menu button addition or modification

hubchy · 12-05-2008

I can now see that I can change the highlight colour for buttons using CLUT options. Do all buttons on a given menu have to use the same colour? It appears they do.

Strangely (to me) I can create (add) a button in DVDReMaker to a menu but the highlight colour which applies to all the other buttons on the menu does not apply to the newly created one. It remains invisible (although if I can find it, I can use it ok - the navigation I have created works).

Given your very useful tips I am getting closer to an efficient solution. Can I do the following:

1. Export a menu frame as a bmp, then add say a couple of words to this bmp (in say Photoshop)- this in effect becomes part of the background in a particular postion on the menu.

2. Export this modified bmp and import it into a suitable DVD creating program (say, DVD Architect).

3. Create a dummy menu with whatever defaults come up without trying to change anything in this program then export it as a dummy DVD.

4. Merge the resulting menu with my original DVD in DVDReMake

5. Change the size, colour, highlighting as I wish for all the buttons in the newly added menu.
