Creating Menus Using the Standard Method

In the Colors tab in the Menu Inspector, clicking the Save as Default button makes this
set of colors the DVD Studio Pro default palette, and it will be used in all menus and
projects created from now on (until it is changed again). Clicking Restore to Default
overrides any changes you have made to this palette and sets it to match the default
palette.

Note: Although they are identical in how they appear and work, the Color Palette used
for subtitles is independent of the one used for menus.
