The Palette Window
The Palette window lets you browse through your imported video, audio, images,
and text, and select individual items for use in a project. You also use the Palette
window to import files into DVDit!, and to create and select different themes:
Themes are collections of the various backgrounds, buttons, fonts, and media clips
with which you create projects. (Use backgrounds, buttons and fonts to create
menus; use media clips to create movies.) For details on using themes, see
“Working With Themes” on page 21.
