Edit Button dialog:
This dialog is used if a text or button is added or edited (right click)
For text, only the first part is shown (text has no actions, nor
Gifmasks), but the text
effects
shadow and block may be switched on or off. Remark: Block and
Outline cannot be combined. Outline is also possible for buttons (the
outline color
may also be changed).
The text edit field will show either a black or white
background,
depending on the chosen text color (you can hardly see black text on a
black background). For multiple lines, use Shift + Enter (or Ctrl +
Enter).
Alignment can be either left, centered or right (justified alignment is
not possible, as it isn't supported by the used VB control; you can
only try
to add spaces within the text yourself for 'pseudo justified alignment')
With the T
button
the usual windows font
selection is started. Similar the usual windows color selection is
started if you click on the square below 'Color'. Same applies for the
outline color, just click on the square right next to the text
'OutlineColor'.
Remove will delete the button or text. For
'undeletable' buttons (menu buttons and backbuttons) or other buttons
which should not be visible on the final DVD, you can use Hide
instead. Hide will automatically format the button as hidden (just one
space character, normally not visible, no Gifmask, small fixed size).
Hidden buttons are not created within the final DVD structure.
Action: If the button is automatically created ('Filmbutton' or
'Chapterbutton'), the action is normally
correctly set. For a user defined button ('Freebutton'), you need to
select the action
here. See also: Free
defined buttons and Jump and Call overview.
Specials:
Dynamic Size: The size of the text (or button) is calculated according
to the given font (and font size). You may use a fixed size (default is
either the actual calculated 'dynamic' size or the default set in the menu default settings).
The dropdown list can be used for fixed size presets depending on the
selected GifMask (not available for text, only for buttons). Using
fixed size for text is rarely necessary, but can be used for vertically
centered alignment of several lines.
