Step 7: Add Menu Text and Change Its Appearance

Now that you’ve added more content to your DVD project, the text on the main menu
may need some adjustment. You can add text to the menu and change its typeface,
size, and color, and add a shadow. You can also reposition text so that it fits better on
the menu. Menu text, also referred to as a “text object,” is not clickable. This is different
from button text, or button labels, because buttons are clickable.

In this step, you’ll add a subtitle, change the appearance of the text, and reposition it
on the menu. Keep in mind that the text you add need not be limited to short titles
and subheads. For example, you can add blocks of text for credits and other content.
