Defining color sets for menusColor sets specify the colors used in subpictures. Each menu can reference only one color set. However, a project may contain any number of sets. To maintain a consistent look throughout a project, a common approach is to use the same color set for all menus in a project. Using a limited number of color sets makes it very easy to change the highlighting colors for the entire project at once. Adobe Encore DVD includes a predefined color set. You can modify this default set or create your own sets. Once defined, you can save color sets and use them in other projects. A color set consists of a maximum of 15 colors, each with its own opacity setting. The colors are divided among one color group for the normal state and two highlight groups. Each highlight group may contain up to six colors: three for the selected state and three for the activated states. Any button can reference one of the highlight groups. You can use the highlight groups to distinguish between different types of buttons on the same menu. For example, you could assign Highlight Group 1 to the main navigation buttons in the menu (such as Play Movie), while using Highlight Group 2 for the common navigation buttons (such as Next and Previous). ![]() Menu Color Set dialog box A.
