Setting MenuBuilder project options

You can set several MenuBuilder project options when you initially develop a project. For example, if you use the MenuBuilder wizard to create a new project, you can set options such as the movie dimensions, title, and background transparency. However, you can also set more project options once a project is open.

To set project options:

  1. Open the MenuBuilder project.

  2. From the Options menu, select Project Options.

  1. In the Project section, adjust the options:

    Title: This text box contains the title text that appears at the top of the finished project dialog box. You can edit this text.

    CD Icon: This text box contains the icon to use if you are planning to export the project as an EXE file. If you want to create or edit an icon file, click More to select an ICO file.

  2. In the Background section, adjust the options:

    Image: This text box contains the background image. Usually this is the image that constitutes the template background. If you want to change this image, click More to select another image file. (After selecting an image, the image appears in the small preview window.)

    Color: This text box refers to the background color of the project. You may not even see the background color if the image fills the background. However, you will see the background color in two cases: when the background image is smaller than the project dimensions, and when you use a transparent background image.

    Layout: Use the pop-up menu to determine the placement of the background image. Choices include Stretch, Center, and Tile.

    Border Style: This text box contains the border style. Use the pop-up menu to select a different border style for the project.

    Transparency: This text box contains the transparency value for the project. Use the pop-up menu to select a different transparency value. 0% is opaque; 100% is completely transparent.

  3. In the Window Size section, adjust the options:

    Full Screen: Select this option to create a full-screen project.

    Custom: Select this option to create a custom-sized project.

    Width: Enter a width in pixels.

    Height: Enter a height in pixels.

  1. Click Apply to view your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to accept changes and close the dialog box.
