Hightlighting Style Bug

BillyBoy wrote on 3/24/2003, 1:04 PM

I made a design change where originally I had 5 chapters on one page. Having added a sixth chapter, it didn't make much sense to have the one chapter on a new page all by itself, so I moved it making one page with 6 chapters. I had changed the hightlighting Style to Text Rectangle and also changed the shading to R 255 G 0 and B 0.

While I could copy the thumbnail and drop it on the page with 5 chapters and have 6, no matter what I do I can not get the 6th thumbnail to take on the highlight Style of the other five. I even cut and pasted it back to the 2nd selection menu page and no matter what I do when I bring it back to the first page it refuses to accept the highlighting style of the other five thumbnails.

The only way I found to resolve it was start over, removing this vid, setting the chapters again, then changing the highlight style all over again. Obviously a lot of extra work.

Hi BillyBoy, I just did the same thing, only I used 7 thumbnails with 7th on the second page. I set one highlighting style on the first page and another on the second page. I then copied the thumbnail on the second page to the first page and resized. I previewed and it took on the highlighting style for the first page. I then changed highlighting styles for that page, and it took on the new highlighting style with the rest of the thumbnails??? I then copied it back to the second page and it took on the highlighting style for the second page. At least on my system the highlighting style is attached to the menu page not the thumbnail. Perhaps there's a parameter that attaches the highlighting style to the thumbnail????

Beats me. I fooled with it a couple minutes then just did it over. Trying to remember... I think I set the hightling style on the first page, then added another chapter, then seeing the right arrow I realized the last chapter was on a new page doing a preview, which is when I saw a different highlight style. I thought a simple cut and paste would fix it, but could be something in how you do the sequence of events. Just to play with it I dropped this one thumnail on a couple other pages and no matter it wouldn't change for the butt ugly overlay that goes far beyond the thumbnail border.
