Associating icons with MenuBuilder projects
MenuBuilder allows you to associate icons with MenuBuilder projects. This is especially useful when you export
projects as EXE files. When you export a MenuBuilder project as an EXE file, MenuBuilder creates a fully
executable file that your users can run simply by double-clicking it. Of course, users can double-click the filename
(for example, projectname.exe) to open the EXE file. However, if you associate an icon with the project and users
place the file on their desktop, they can double-click the icon instead of the filename.
You must use ICO files for MenuBuilder project icons.
There are two ways in which you can associate icons with projects. You can attach an icon to a project during
initial project creation by using the MenuBuilder wizard, or you can attach an icon to a project by adjusting the
project options.
To associate an icon with a project during initial project creation:
•
Create a project using the MenuBuilder wizard. In the third wizard screen, click More next to the CD Icon text
box to select a project icon. (Remember to use an ICO file.)
To associate an icon with an existing project:
1 Open the MenuBuilder project.
2 Select Options > Project Options.
Click browse (...) next to the CD Icon text box to select a ICO file for the project icon.

Creating MenuBuilder projects with transparent backgrounds
Transparent MenuBuilder projects contain a transparency value that you determine. Values range from 0% to
100%. 0% is opaque and 100% is completely transparent. A value between these two extremes provides an inter-
esting visual element.
There are two ways to create transparent projects. By using the MenuBuilder wizard, you can make a project trans-
parent when you first create the project. You can also make an existing project transparent by adjusting the project
options.
