How to customize VDRAssistant?

VDRAssisant is highly modular and some parts are already built with customizing in mind. The both main parts for customizing are the DVD-menue-theme library and the conversion process library.

Beside the both main parts, a lot may be customized by java standards like plug&play look&feel, select a different window manager, or the like

On creating a DVD menue theme, we distict between the theme, which you create by using the Themeeditor and the theme-library, which will be used by the Themeeditor.

Talking about theme customizing, we talk about building your own theme-library, usable for the Themeeditor. That library contains all elements, that paint a portion of the final DVD menuepage. Primarily, a DVD-menuepage is an empty and transparent canvas. Whatever you like to see, you'll need to build a menueelement for it.

Customizing the conversion process means to build your own library too. That library will be used by the Job-processor.

Both main parts have their own HOWTO.

Please keep in mind, that VDRAssistant is designed for distributed systems, so the theme creation (using the Themeeditor) may happen on a quite different machine, than the conversion-process (performed by the Job-processor). But the Job-processor uses your themelibrary too, for creating the real DVD menue.
