Abstract
A menu theme is created using a menu theme description file that contains a general description of each object (such as a drop zone area, selectable menu buttons, menu title, theme background, etc.) contained in the menu theme. In addition, the menu theme description file contains a path to one or more patch files for each object in the menu theme, the patch file being used to render the object. The patch file contains a description of an arrangement of modules including a list of the modules and relationships between them. In some embodiments, a patch file is created using a composer application that displays a graphical representation of the patch file and translates the graphical representation to a textual representation.
