Whenever you save a new Favorite theme, iDVD does a fair amount of administrative work. Behind the scenes, iDVD creates a new theme file on your hard drive. If you decided to share your theme with other account holders, this file appears in the Library iDVD Favorites folder. If not, it winds up in your Home Library iDVD Favorites folder. Unlike regular themes, whose names end with the suffix theme, Favorites use a .favorite file name extension. (See Figure 17-4 at right.) Why is this important to know? Because it tells you how to remove a saved favorite: Just drag the .favorite .le out of the secret folder and into the Trash. The next time you open iDVD, that favorite will no longer appear in the Themes pane pop-up menu. It's also worth noting that when you create a favorite, iDVD copies all relevant materials, including background audio and video, to the newly created theme. (Don't believe it? To view these materials, navigate to the saved .favorite file. Control-click its icon; from the contextual menu, choose Show Package Contents Then open the Contents Resources folder.) Because iDVD has made copies of your movies, pictures, and soundtrack files, you no longer need to keep the originals , as far as iDVD is concerned . Feel free to discard, rename, or move these components from their original locations on your hard drive. |
