We now import the background image file (Menu.jpg) and the mask pattern highlight file (Play.png) into the Video & Audio bin as following.

To create the menu background, create an empty menu and simply drag the background image file Menu.jpg and drop it onto the empty menu. We may need to do some resizing so that the background will fit the entire menu screen as following. To create the highlight pattern (menu button) for the menu item "Play Movie", drag the file Play.png and drop it onto the menu background. Again, the pattern needs to be moved and resized so that it would completely cover the menu text as following. The menu button can now be linked to any video clips in your authoring project or be assigned a virtual command.

The color map tab is used to define the highlight color of the menu button. We can choose any color for the selection and action color. If you are interested in how to author a DVD project with DVD-Lab Pro, please visit the DVD-Lab Pro Authoring Guide section on this web site.
