Step Six: Change the Look of Text on Menus

Now that you’ve added more content to your DVD project, the text in the main menu
title may need some adjustment. You can change the font, size, and color of text in
menus and on buttons. You can also reposition text so it fits better on the menu, or
add additional descriptive text. In this step, you’ll add a subtitle, change the
appearance of the text, and reposition it on the menu.

To customize the text:

1

Make sure the main menu is open, then choose Project > Add Text.

You see new placeholder text that you can type over.

2

Click the placeholder text and then type a subtitle. In the illustration below, the subtitle
is “A Year of Fun.”

3

Click the Menu button and locate the Text section of the Menu pane.

The pop-up menus, shown below, let you choose the font, the style of the text (such as
bold or italic), and the size.

4

Click the size pop-up menu and choose a smaller size so that the subtitle will fit below
the main title.

5

Click the Color box to open the Colors window. Try out the different color selections in
the Colors window.
