A MENU INTERFACE WITH 3 COLUMNS WITH BUTTONS

It is easy to create a menu interface with 2 columns with buttons in CD-Menu Creator. But what about a menu interface with 3 columns with buttons? Can this be easily done?

HOW TO SET A UNIQUE TEXT COLOR FOR A BUTTON

In the Buttons tab in the CD-Menu Creator editor you can set a text color for all texts that are displayed on buttons in a menu interface. But the color that you set in the Buttons tab will be the same for all buttons. Sometimes it can be useful to set another text color for specific button, but is it possible?

The answer is yes. You can set a unique text color (and also a unique background color) for every button in a menu if you want that. In the following step-by-step tip that we have published on our website we explain how to do this:
