Menu color sets
About color sets for menus
Color sets specify the colors used in subpictures. Each menu can reference only one color set. However, a project may
contain any number of sets. To maintain a consistent look throughout a project, a common approach is to use the
same color set for all menus in a project. Using a limited number of color sets makes it very easy to change the
highlighting colors for the entire project at once.
Adobe Encore DVD includes a predefined color set and generates an automatic color set when you import a menu.
(See "Automatic color set" on page 127.) You can modify the default set or create your own sets. Once defined, you
can save color sets and use them in other projects.
A color set consists of a maximum of 15 colors, each with its own opacity setting. The colors are divided among one
color group for the normal state and two highlight groups. Each highlight group contains up to six colors: three for
the selected state and three for the activated states. Any button can reference either of the highlight groups. You can
use the highlight groups to distinguish between different types of buttons on the same menu. For example, you could
assign Highlight Group 1 to the main navigation buttons in the menu (such as Play Movie), while using Highlight
Group 2 for the common navigation buttons (such as Next and Previous).
