Hi.
A while back you did an item on open-source DVD-authoring tools. Can I
mention one helper utility I've been working on recently, called DVD
Menu Animator <http://github.com/ldo/dvd_menu_animator>. The idea is
that you use Inkscape to do the main design of your menu, with all the
design tools that that makes available. You also add information to the
Inkscape drawing indicating the placement and names of the menu buttons.
You then bring the drawing into DVD Menu Animator, assign additional
colours for the highlighted and selected states of the buttons, then
save the results in a form that can be fed to the spumux tool in the
dvdauthor suite.
I have also been doing further development of dvdauthor, fixing
long-standing issues, trying to improve the documentation etc
