    I am using a Swicthed Menu in DLP to toggle between 2 photos (simply 2 different menus imported) but the catch is with the 3rd menu item (the one that returns to main menu). This item should not be a switch, because I want the user to intuitively know that he/she should press Enter whenever they wish to return to the Main Menu. Whats the way to set this up properly? The switch works well for the 2 photos because the item is highlighted blue as the new photo is brought to the top of the stack. However, if I add a 3rd switch but that doesnt actually send immediately to Main Menu, it will momentarily show 2 items in blue: the active photo AND the Main Menu button...somewhat confusing. Unless I have missed something, I only see a way around this if I use a different color for ACTIVE versus SELECTED.

    Any thoughts?

    If the first two buttons are set to Normal : Invisible then they should not be seen on the last item. Are you talking about the Mina Menu button at the bottom, or a new one to be added ?

    Well, i have set my first 2 buttons to Inivisble Selected. Keep in mind these are Switched Menus and the blue highlight is NOT created by a DLP overlay - its a different psd capture. Actually, the whole text highlights generated by DLP are causing me to tear my hair out. Its SSSOOO jagged and aliased, it really doesnt make for a professional presentation. There HAS to be a better way to present my highlighted text when not using switched menus? Thing is looks great on PC, but on TV the text is hard to read when its overlaid with DLP's color map. Not to mention you should see how awful the star bullet looked with an overlay. I had to drop the star from the "regular" menus because it looked so ugly. How do these commercial DVDs get such clean looking bullets to follow user selection? They use a different program?
