Button highlights look ugly

[Lolena1888]

Does anyone know how to make good looking subpictures for dvdlab-pro? All original highlights look ugly on the TV. I tried different colors, transparent options, and different font sizes, but highlighted text look either blurred or crisp.

Can somebody help me?

Tone down the colour, and set about half transparency in DLP.
A screenshot would really help here.

I did them almost 80% transparency, doesn't help. I will post screenshots after recompiling the project.
When I try colors inside the dvdlab, everything looks great. After compiling the highlighted button looks ugly.

Are you using NTSC safe colours?

NO, I don't use them.

If you are compiling for NTSC out you should turn them on. Also, make sure AntiAlias is ticked on the Map tab.

I actually do all mine in Photoshop. Keep the sub pics on their own layers, and merge everything else to the background layer. Save as a layered PSD. In DLP menu choose Menu, then Import Menu -> From PSD. Just link your subpics to assets and compile. Much happier with the results this way.
