Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 280)

The button’s active area extends to include the text if you choose to include the text in
the highlight. Use care to ensure that the active area does not inadvertently overlap other
buttons on the menu.
Setting the Button Text’s Font and Color
A button’s text can use a mix of colors and fonts.
To change the text font and color
1 Select the text you want to change.
2 Do one of the following to open the Font panel:
• Choose Format > Font > Show Fonts (or press Command-T).
• Click Fonts in the toolbar.
3 Choose the font and size to use.
4 Do one of the following to open the Colors window:
• Choose Format > Font > Show Colors (or press Command-Shift-C).
• Click Colors in the toolbar.
5 Choose the color to use.
You can also add bold, italic, and underline attributes to the text.
Note: The bold and italic attributes are available only if the current font supports them.
To apply bold, italic, and underline attributes
1 Select the text you want to change.
2 Choose Format > Font > Bold (or press Command-B) to add the bold attribute.
3 Choose Format > Font > Italic (or press Command-I) to add the italic attribute.
4 Choose Format > Font > Underline (or press Command-U) to add the underline attribute.
By selecting different parts of the button’s text, you can mix different fonts, colors, and
attributes on the same button.
Creating Text-Only Buttons
You can create text-only buttons that only have the text as their graphic. This is useful if
you want a simple button that says something like “Play Movie.” By centering the text in
the button and configuring the button so that the selected and activated highlights apply
to the text, you can create a button that works well in a DVD title.
To create a text-only button
1 Create a button active area by dragging in the Menu Editor.
2 Add text to the button, either in the Button Inspector or by typing directly in the Menu
Editor.
3 Set the text’s font and color.
