In the menu on the right, click on the triangle next to the theme you like, to see different panels for the Main, Chapters and Extras menus.
Each panel has different customizable drop zones. You can also edit the sound. Click the Edit Drop Zones button and you will see all the drop zones, as well as the Media Menu on the right. Just drag and drop media into the viewing area.
During the process of customization you can always click the run button to preview the results.
3. Preview your iDVD project

Click the Map button and look at the icons to see if any warning symbols appear. If they do, move the pointer over the symbol to read the error message and fix them before you burn it to disc. Click Return to exit the Map view.
