Yes I've tried new projects, = new menus, non-text overlays, everything I can think of and the problem = persists. I've even reused Photoshop files that worked in the past. I = really like the Photoshop approach. I like having the text itself be the = button, instead of an arrow or something small. Also, I can expand the = area the button real estate so it goes across the menu, which is nice if = you're playing the DVD on a computer. What annoys the hell out of me, if this is a bug, is that this is an = end-of-line program, so there's no hope for improvement. Where do we go = from here? Encore? Can I do the same sort of thing in that program? Thanks for the reply.
