It is also possible to change the background sound or video for a particular theme. You can change the image/movie and even the music.  This is done using the Settings menu under the Customize button.   Drag and drop the desired file into the background or audio slot to change it.

Under this menu many things are possible.  You can change the size, font, or color of the text.  You can also change the button shape, size, and location.

Keep in mind that changing the background can sometimes eliminate the drop zones and make it difficult to read text.  As always, test-drive your changes and customized theme by using the Preview button.   This will make sure that everything is TV safe and usable.  You can repeat this scenario to create a multi-tiered menu system, perfect for adding those DVD extras that you have always dreamed of creating.  Director commentary tracks galore!
