dupecoop 2 Report post Posted August 28, 2016 In DVD-Video, I don't see a way to edit buttons on the menu page. For example, the title of each button has the date and time by default. I don't want that, and I would like to be able to move the buttons freely. Is there a way to do that in Toast 15? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 theoldarchiver 54 Report post Posted August 28, 2016 You can edit the text, but the placement of the buttons is determined by the themes/menu styles. I.e. you can't move them around freely in Toast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bohalloran 6 Report post Posted August 30, 2016 There was a time that one could open the Toast menu flies in photoshop and make changes and save them. I'm not sure if that is still the case. At any rate, it was/is very cumbersome. You also need to know where the Toast menu files are stored and then know where to store the edited files. It is NOT for the faint of heart.

0 dupecoop 2 Report post Posted August 30, 2016 It seems that Toast's upgrades are not really much of anything. I generally buy them and wonder why I did. I was hoping that Toast 15 would allow more flexibility with placement of menus, but it's no different previous versions. I wish there was a Nero Video for Mac. It's much more comprehensive.

0 dupecoop 2 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 Is it a bad sign when your response from Toast tech support starts with "what version of Windows are you on?". I'm not kidding. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 d_deweywright 117 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 Yep... I'd consider that a bad sign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MacGeek 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 Can you? Well, kinda. I've done it, and changed the menu a bit. Still not optimal.

Here's Corel's explanation: https://support.corel.com/hc/en-us/articles/215854838-Create-or-customize-Toast-DVD-menu-styles Kathi Kathi, Thank you for responding. The Toast community has been woefully short on people who are familiar with Macs and use Toast and are also familiar with toast on the mac ever since Tsantee left over two years ago. I've read your recent postings and you seem to have a great working knowledge which will be of great benefit to toast users. About this particular post. I read the Corel response. Seems like that would work if one wants to create new menus. I do remember several versions back where people wanted to do the same, but often wanted to edit the existing toast menus. As I recall, it was possible to do, but it required people to know where the toast menus are stored and then have a version of photoshop that would open the file for editing. I've not found where those menu files are stored. Can you assist in this matter. Thanks, Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 theoldarchiver 54 Report post Posted October 12, 2016 Note that on that referenced page, for Toast 8 and higher, the response is to only change the background image, not using Photoshop, but using the regular Toast interface. The design guide was made for Toast 7 and hasn't been updated publicly. Toast 8 menus were much improved, thus different. Meaning loads of unknowns for later versions and nothing to guide you when something doesn't work. But feel free to try! And if you figure it out, do post a tutorial. Also note that Toast was in Sonic Solutions' hands (2003-2011) when they released Toast 7 (2005) and Toast 8 (2007). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MacGeek 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2016 Bob, There are a few ways of doing this - going from the easy to the not so easy. You can work within the tools you have to make Toast work at least a little bit better. Larry Jordan and others have covered this: https://larryjordan.com/articles/create-a-custom-blu-ray-menu-using-toast-titanium-10/ Or you can modify the menu in Photoshop. Note: I haven;t tried this. I opened it in Photoshop and it seems to be a file containing nested layers, etc. All I can say is if you do this, work on a copy! The file is inside the Toast app in the /Resources/Toast Menu Styles folder. I only see one menu here - Splash, so this might be a deprecated file - especially since I also see icon files going back to Toast version 6. Kathi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Matt Caz 1 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Am I the only one that still wants to make custom menus in Toast? I hate the generic ones they created. Please... if anyone has figured it out please let me know. Matt Caswell matt AT thecaswells.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
