Jeff -
"'n I dips me lid" For those unfamiliar with pre-WWII Australian venacular, that means "I take my hat off to you" -

Your point about menu modifications that
cannot be made in the GUI is absolutely valid. I guess that's why so many of us are scratching our heads!
I went ahead and edited some .xml files, as you'd instructed. All good. That works. Then I started wondering how to replicate the circled, boxed & coloured highlights on navigation buttons. Digging around in the menu template folders, I found that was determined by what's inside the
pcbg folder and that
std_highlight.xml document. After messing around for a while I decided it was too hard so I just modified a couple of the standard menus. Most everything has been stripped out, so it's almost like starting with a blank template (Create Menu). I also figured lots of folks wouldn't necessarily have the urge to be editing .xml files just to get a respectable looking menu!
If you want
circle highlights (like in the screenshot above) -

If you want
square highlights (like in the screenshot above) -

I'm still working on the coloured highlight on navigation buttons... like in the "Around the World" menu template. The buttons for that are here - C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\Templates\PowerDirector Content Pack 13\PowerDirector 13 Content Pack Essential\Menus\Around the World\pcbg
Man PDR'S exhausting sometimes!
