628 23. Creating Show Menus

What Gets Saved

Saving your menu file will save all of the major elements of your menu.
Your pages, music, captions, and layers will be saved. Your shows, however,
won’t be saved. That’s because custom menus are saved so that they can
be used with any other kinds of shows in the future.
That means you’ll need to add in and customize where those shows appear
on any future uses of the custom menu you’ve created.

Saving Themes and Layouts

You’ve seen how Themes and Layouts are selected when you’re adjusting
the standard menu options.

You can use the settings you configure in a custom menu to create your
own themes and layouts, which will appear for easy selection in the
standard menu options.

The Save Theme and Save Layout button both appear at the bottom of
the Customize Menu window, just below the Pages List.

Saving a Menu Theme

Saving a theme saves the layers that aren’t show thumbnails. You can think
of it as the basic appearance of the menu background.

When saving a Theme you pick the name for the theme and choose a
category for it. If none of the categories fit, you can always type the name
of a new one and it will be created for you. Click on Save once you’re done.
