DVD Architect – Button Question
I have a really simple problem in DVD-Architect v3 that I hope somebody can help with.
I have a menu screen, with a flat white background.
For my button I have 2 graphics, the menu option and the highlighted state.
These 2 graphics do not have any transparency as they are both over white.
I would love to just be able to switch between or even just add the 2nd graphic over the top of the first when the button is highlited.
I don’t want to use transparency masks as all the buttons and the bg are on white and it will save quality if I can avoid it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Phil

Are the pictures the same, or are they completely different pictures? When I say the “same”, I mean one might be “Sepia”, and the other Full Color — but the actual content/pic is the same…

The buttons are almost identical.
Unselcted it is just text that says Play All
Selected it a different color and has brackets either side so it would be [ Play All ]
Thanks for any advice.

If you just want brackets, make the button link be text only, and add the brackets as WHITE text (also insert a separate text box between the brackets for the button description — like Button 1, Play All, etc…).
Change the HIGHLIGHT STYLE to “Mask Overlay” (instead of rectangle).
Then modify the Color Sets so that the Selected state uses a fill color with opacity to show the White brackets when you navigate to the button.

That is what I did in the end, ideally I would have liked to change the color of the type as well as add the [ ] but using a mask overlay to change the color of the type looked a bit rough.
Putting a red masked overlay over a greay piece of type just gave me unwanted fringing, that is why I would have loved to swap the whole button graphic and not use highlite colors.
Thanks for your help.
