Adding Background Images to Drop Zones

Background images, slideshows, and movies can be placed within drop zones, which
are numbered and labeled on each theme. The drop zone is not a button that lets
viewers play a slideshow or movie; it just lets you add interest to your menu
background.

Note: You can also replace the entire theme graphic with an image, slideshow, or
movie. To learn more about this, see “Add a Submenu and Replace Its Background” on
page 27.

To add a slideshow to the drop zone:

1

Click the Media button at the top of the Customize drawer and choose Photos from the
pop-up menu.

2

Drag the pictures you want to see on your menu from the Photos list to the drop zone
in the menu. A slideshow of the pictures plays in the drop zone.

If you prefer, you can add a short movie or a single still image to a drop zone, instead of
a slideshow. If you add a short movie, it plays repeatedly in the drop zone; if you add a
still image, the image fills the drop zone.
