Hi

I have used the Night Sky menu style with added buttons and burned directly to DVD. The selected menu item is indicated by an underline that is dark blue on a darkish blue background.

This is fine when played on a PC with Power DVD XP (W2k) but on a DVD player the underline visibility varies between very low and impossible.

Is it possible for me to change the method of indicating the selected item to something more visible (or even to change the menu style) without starting from scratch? Adding 11 pxps one at a time and then modifying the menu is tedius.

[I have found how to import an image list from one pxp into another project - is there something similar for mxps?]

Regards

Ray

Hi Ray

Generally PixPlay will resize the text after you edit it to conform to the new size. If you have manually resized it previously it won't do that. So in other words reduce the height of your text box and this will reduce the space between the underline and the text.

Hi

These checks were ok. However I solved the problem by reducing the font size, reducing the button outline to the minimum required for the text, and giving extra spacing between menu buttons.

However the underlines are not equally spaced from the relevent text; near the top of the screen the underline is touching the text, near the bottom of the screen the underline is well below the text, varying in between these extremes. Functionally this does not matter but possibly needs some attention. I can send photos if you tell me how.

Regards

Hi Ray

An easier way is to go into the "Customize Menu" screen, right click any menu button and choose "DVD Button Style".

Regarding your unselectable buttons, go into the "Customize Menu" screen again, select a non-function button and click the "Edit Button button. What does it say in the "Show the Slideshow" box?

Hi

I have found that if another button with the desired properties is added [customise menu > add button > button style] then all the existing buttons take on the same properties as this new one. The added button can then be deleted. In this case I used different colours for the underline.

Now I find that not all buttons are selectable.
Perhaps it is back to the drawing board after all.
