Change the color of background in iDVD?

Folks,
New to iDVD. Is there a method to change the color of the background in an iDVD theme? Or is the background really an "image"?
Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I really can't do
what I want. I'm using the theme "Shelves" and wanted
to change the color of the walls to something other
than the brown that comes with the theme.
Are the images that make up the themes somewhere that
I can edit them with Photoshop or the like?
It depends on how familiar you are with working with OS X.
Proceed at your own risk:
Library>Applications Support>iDVD>Themes>iDVD6 you will see several Shelves packages.
It's easy to examine the package contents - just Control click on the icon and select Show Package Contents. Warning -Do not edit anything in the packages!!!!!!!!
I would simply find the background image(s) I wanted and use the Copy command to create new versions in Photoshop. After adjusting and saving the copied images in Photoshop, I would simply drag and drop the adjusted/saved images in the theme background image well.
If you are more adventurious, you could modify the procedure covered in http://macdvdpro.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=67633
Do so at your own risk.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

    At some point, I changed the colors configuration of the Firefox browser window. Perhaps it was something offered in your features. Nonetheless, I like the choices of colors for backgrounds and fonts, but strangely the Menubar is both very dark blue in color, and the font color is black. As a consequence, I have to select the menu options by memory rather than choice; I would prefer reading the options.
    My operating system is Kubuntu Meerkat. Usually changing such things is an easy configuration adjustment, however, under your 'preferences' of the edit menu, I could not find a method for improving design error, ie. dark background color/dark font. If possible, I would like to lighten the background to get contrast with the font, or lighten the font color of the Menubar, which is actually preferable. The preferable color is the light gold as used for the other font entries.
    Can and will you help me? Thanks in advance. Shabakthanai

  • Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations?  what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

    Numbers questioons:
    -how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
    -what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
    -how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
    -I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well.  I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

    Hi Matt,
    For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
    For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Copy/Paste:
    Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
    Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
    Fill Down:
    After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
    Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
    Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
    When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Pick whichever is easiest.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

    how do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

    LOL - I had the same problem.  Hidden in plain sight!  All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
    I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling.  Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better.  Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.

  • How Do I change the color of the background?

    I am currently working on an important project,where my client wants their image on certain colors, they were shot on a white background, so how do I change the color of the background? Do I do that in the Develop stage?  I do not want to print these, I need to export the finished images to my desktop to send to     the client! Please HELP!!! Lisa

    While this is probably a job for Photoshop rather than LR, you could probably, with a lot of work, achieve this effect using the adjustment brush in Lightroom, set it to whatever color you want and paint over the white background. But as I said, this is a job much more easily accomplished in Photoshop.

  • How do i change the color of the window background?

    How do I change the color of the window background? When I create a new document on indesign sometimes the blackground is white, sometimes black or gray and I d'ont know why. Thanks for help.

    THis sounds like you are viewing is different modes. "Normal" or layout mode uses a white pasteboard whre you can store objects that you might want to use, but don't want on your pages currently. When you switch to "Preview" mode the pasteboard and any guides and non-printing objects disappear and the background goes gray. In Presentation Mode the backbround is black and the tools and panels will disappear.
    Hitting the W key when you don't have the Text tool active will toggle normal and preview modes. Shift + W will take you to Prensetation Mode, and Esc will take you back out.

  • Can you change the color of a Generator background?

    Dumb question, but how do you change the color of a Generator background?
    Not seeing the option in the inspector.

    On that note, I want to correct my earlier post saying that you'd have to go to Motion if there was no published parameter to adjust the color of the generator. 
    Nothing would stop you from adding a Colorize filter directly in FCP X.
    Of course, if there was more to the generator than just a background, the Colorize effect would impact all parts of the Generator, whereas in Motion you'd have the ability to isolate the particular layer you want to affect. 
    The main reason to go to Motion in this changing the generator color scenario would be to publish the Shape Color(if the background was a shape) or publish the Colorize filter(both remap white and black) so that you could easily modify the color of any future instance of that Generator copy.
