Moving themes to another location

The themes that come with iDVD can take up a lot of space on your hard disk. If you have limited space on your hard disk, you can move the themes to an external hard disk or other location. Moving the themes does not change how iDVD works.

To move iDVD themes:

Step 1

Locate the Themes folder in this location on your hard disk: /Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes.

Step 2

Move the folder to a different location, such as an external hard disk.

Next, you need to set the new location of the Themes folder.

Step 3

With iDVD open, choose iDVD > Preferences and click Advanced.

Step 4

Click the Add button.

Step 5

Locate the folder where you moved the themes, then click Open.

The name of the new folder appears in the folders box.

If you move the Themes folder but don’t set its location in iDVD preferences, you see a dialog asking you to locate the themes the next time you open iDVD.

Note that when you install iDVD, you can choose another location for the themes. Click the Customize button in the installer and click the arrows next to iDVD Themes to select another location to install the themes.
