Tip: You can select and drag any text object (non-clickable text) on the menu to

Step Seven: Customize the Main Menu
Now that you have an attractive menu with buttons that link to a movie, a scene
selection menu, and a slideshow, you can add some polish to your DVD by customizing
the menus. In this step, you will learn how to add images to the Fish One menu
background, and then add a transition between the main menu buttons and your
movie and slideshow.
Add Images to the Background
You can place images, groups of images, and movies in the menu background by
dragging them into drop zones, which are numbered and labeled on each theme. A
drop zone is not a button that lets viewers play a slideshow or movie; it just provides
an area where you can place media that adds interest to the menu background.
In the Fish One menu, the picture frame contains a drop zone. You can fill the frame
with a still image, with a video that plays repeatedly, or a short sequence of images
that plays like a slideshow.
Did You Know?—Making Sure Text Can Be Seen on a TV
Some television screens may not be able to display everything on your menu. You
can overlay an outline on the menu to show you what will be visible on these
televisions. This is called the TV safe area.
To see the TV safe area:
