Saving Favorites
After applying all the techniques described so far in this chapter, you may end up creating masterpieces of adapted iDVD themes. Fortunately, iDVD allows you to save and reuse these modified themes after you adjust them to your liking. Here’s how to go about it:
Choose File → Save Theme as Favorite.
The Save sheet (dialog box) appears at the top of the window. (iDVD 6 doesn’t have the Save as Favorite button you may remember from earlier versions.)
Type the name for your new theme. Turn on “Shared for all users,” if you like.
If you’re the only person who uses your Mac, never mind. But if you share a Mac with other students, workers, or family members, each of whom has a Mac OS X account, the “Shared for all users"option makes your new theme available to other people who use the machine. (Otherwise, your masterpiece will appear in the list only when you use iDVD.)
When you save a Favorite, you no longer need to keep the original theme on which it was based, as far as iDVD is concerned. Feel free to discard, rename, or move the original theme files from their original locations on your hard drive.
(The box below offers the details.)
Turn off “Replace existing” if you want to create a new entry in the theme list.
If you turn on “Replace existing,” iDVD will treat your adapted theme as a replacement for the one you based it on, rather than creating a new entry in the list.
Click OK.
