I have chosen a certain theme in iDVD, the Memories one, and it comes with 3 Drop Zones, but I only need to use 2 of them as I don't have anythign to put in the third. Is there a way to delete one of the drop zones and only have 2? I have tried all sorts of things and can't figure it out.

Thanks!

Also to add up to this question. How can you create your own theme with drop zones and all?

You're stuck with what the theme provides. If you have Developer Tools installed, there was an Apple page on how to create your own themes (or I assume modify current ones). I've tried searching for it a while ago with no success. You might give it a try and see what you can do.

The themes are located in the Resources/Themes folder within the iDVD package. You can copy the one you want to modify out and see what you can do. Always make a backup of the application and project files if you're going to experiment. Good luck.

Basically if you want to create your own themes you're pretty much stuck with using DVD Studio Pro. Setting up a DVD is actually more akin to programming and director/flash work than the design part of it. iDVD just makes it look easy
