•“Borders”: With this function you can specify the border style options of the inactive film stamps in the DVD menu.
You can specify the “Size” and “Color” or “Pattern” (a window is called up with which you can call up either the color box or the image pool).
These are global settings that affect all of the film stamp borders. If you set the border thickness of a frame to the value 0, then you will see no frame around the reference icons in the DVD menu once created.
However, the frames must later be able to be selected in this menu. A frame is put around the icon you have selected as long as it is active (see “active Borders”).

The button “Selection Color” specifies color of the border of the film stamp when it is active. “Activation Color” defines the color the frame shows momentarily when the frame is selected.
•”Shadow”: This function lets you specify the shadow that is thrown by the icon.
You can set the “Color”, “Size”, “Border” and “Direction” of the shadow.
At the left edge of the operating panel you will find the familiar controls that allow you to reduce the size of the panel or move it to the other screen edge.
To the right you see the button “Archives” that lets you save your settings and restore them later. For example, if you have created a menu with complex settings (shadows, frames, italic text, etc.), the archive gives you the possibility of creating a new DVD later in the same style settings. You use the “Load” function to access the attributes you have previously defined and saved. Clicking on “Ok” confirms your settings and you then exit the menu.
Note: Before the DVD is played or written, the settings you have made under “Edit Menu” must be created. You can do this, for example, in the menu “All” (please read item
(5)). Alternatively, the calculation will be done automatically as needed.
