FOREWORD
This is the third newsletter in a series of four for those
who had downloaded a trial version of the menu designer
tool CD-Menu Creator
from SamLogic Software.
In the previous issue we covered buttons, and in this
issue we will describe how to use the template gallery
in CD-Menu Creator, or one of the menu examples that
follows the program, to create your own menu interface,
in an easy way. We
will also explain how to create an interface with many
menus (a main menu + sub menus), and how to include
social media (like Facebook) in a menu interface.
If you have questions about CD-Menu Creator, please
feel free to contact me. If you want to read

 CD-Menu
Creator supports social media like Facebook, Twitter, Google+

added to a menu interface, and when a user
clicks on a logotype the corresponding social media page
