Button highlighting
DVD menus (but not VCD and S-VCD menus), give
visual feedback by highlighting the current button as
the user scrolls around the
menu. Special active high–
lighting distinguishes a button
that is in the process of being
actuated, just before the action
is performed. (You can preview this highlighting effect
in the Player, and interact with the menu using either
the mouse or the Player’s DVD controls.)
The Title Editor lets you assign the colour that will be
used for each type of highlight, and a style option that
governs how the highlights will be drawn. The controls
for these settings are located below the button-type list:
Click the Active and Selected colour swatches to set the
highlight colours that work best with your menu. It
may help to make your menus clearer if you use
consistent highlighting colours for all the menus on a
disc.
The three highlight style options, from left to right, are:
• Box: The highlighting is drawn as a rectangle
enclosing the button.
• Follow shape: The highlighting covers the visible
area of the button, whatever its shape.
• Underline: The button is underlined.
These highlight options can be applied to any type of
button made from any type of object, not just the button
images brought in from the Album. Clear the Highlight
style checkbox if you want to disable button
highlighting while working in the Title Editor.
