Hello everyone. Since my doubt is related to the ISO build mencioned in this topic, and since I have a doubt relating some forum use I´ll start explaining the thing:
I´ve posted a question on the Graphics forum part (relating something to do with building custom font menus) The situation is that I cannot for the love of me, put the text in any colour highlighted situation (although the cursor detects the text "link"). My question is: does that part of the easyboot forum work at all? Does it have people responsable for it?. I´ve not seen an answer to any question posted there for a long time... I´ve come to see football related posts which (at least to my mind) seem like spam...  Does that forum work at all? Can someone help me out on my doubts relating that question?
Question on Graphics forum:
"Hello all. Although an old tread I decided to post here as the help I need is related to the tread topic. Hope soemone can help out.
I´ve decided to add some custom font text menus to my build. I´ve already done the background images, added the text to my liking, confirmed that the comands work on each menu. The problem I´m having has to do with the menu text colour highlights... I cannot for the love of me make the menus change colour when mouse cursor (or directional keys) select each menu. It detects each specific menu, selects it, running the comand whithout problem. But the colour change never happens. I´ve already tried picking the exact same colour on the original background image text, confirming it is indeed the same configuration on easyboot menu, but still no colour change happens...
Any idea of what might be wrong here? Any help is much apreciated. 
Thanks for that."
Thanks for all and any help or guidance you can provide. Really apreciatte it.

Well, I created a flash movie, which hopefully can help you in some way
Note: this is sensitive stuff with colours 
You might need to redo you 'paint job' before everything works as expected 
Also try to use a 'clean' colour as text colour to your background!
Download zip-file HERE
Extract to somewhere and double-click to 'Untitled.html'
(you need Adobe flash-player in your computer which 99% already have installed in the system).
Finally...
I'm no 'Spielberg'  and that flash movie is far from any artistic masterpiece

Man...you are my heroe  . Seriously, you are relentless in your help towards the community. I do REALLY apreciate all the help you´ve given around here.
Thanks to your (wonderful I might say ) Flash presentation I finally got the juice of it. I was using white as background colour for both highlight and normal states, and that, somehow, broke the menu colour transition effect on the program. Using the cyan as back colour (or any other other than white works great). Your tutorial for the front colours makes the rest. Finally I may proceed with my project. Cool DVD it will be. Partly thanks to all the help you gave me. For that I pretty much congratulate you balder. Many thanks for that.
P.S: Wondershare DemoCreator. Nice program and you make pretty good use of it 
Thanks again. Take care.

Once again, here I am looking for some possible advice from someone who might help (balder would be a great begining ).
The thing is, yesterday as I said, following balder´s video, I managed to change colours on the font menus on my build easily. Oddly enough when I went to do the same today, it did not work AGAIN... 
I´ve watched and rewatched your video balder, did all of the steps, taking care all was being followed and, although the font menu colour changes to what I want(on Easyboot editing windows) it did not change on virtual boxes (tried Qemu and Virtual Box with the same result). Tried unistalling and reinstalling easyboot, did not work. Tried creating the .bmp image on Paint, did not work... Tried converting the Photoshop made one to one saved in .bmp on Paint, did not work...
I´ve taken the time to record a flash screen capture which I would be gratefull if balder or anyone else would be kind enought to take a look into it. On it I´ve used a more "crazy" coloured background image and a more "softer" one (just to see if the background colour was the one causing the issue...) the result was the same. In the video I go to all the steps I believe are necessary to acomplish shuch a task, but it simply does not work on my build.
Anyone kind enough to spend 5 minutes to watch the movie and give some insight?

Thank you for all and any idea and help.

Yes it is a sensitive matter to use 'Image Text' 
I recommend following:
1. First option; Open menu that don't respond to colours set by you, open 'Options>>Configuration' (implement persistence to your behavior ) - and redo setting of 'image colour' to see if it responds as suggested (sometimes needed each time it fails )
2. Second option; Create a new menu (push 'New') and start all over. Push 'Insert' in menu tab and use button 'Up' and Down' to move menu entries as you like. Of course you must again do the 'thing' (Options>>Configuration) and tick 'Use Image Text' to background
As told - sensitive is the name

Hie there balder. Thanks for the helpful insights on the subject. After much tweaking around and all, I do believe I found the culprit for the behaviour I was having (at least It is working fine after some testing-the menus change colour after my own changes) .
What seems to be the problem in my case was the fact that I was configuring my 800x600 .bmp image as 16M Color(24bits). As soon as I changed it to 64K color(16bits), whenever I changed colors it changed to my liking. Must be some threshold screen mode background image issue whithin easyBoot. Hope all continues to go well. Let´s see if it´s now I end up what I proposed myself to do.
Thank you very much once again balder for all your help and consideration. You´ve been great.
See you around
