Re: Background fills
Testing using all the previous version of Xara X(treme) that I have installed, the change to the functionality of the Background button occurred between Xara Xtreme 2.0f and Xara Xtreme 3.2.
Prior to version 3.2 the Background button created a background layer and filled it with the selected fill.

Re: Background fills
Ok peoples - seems to have stirred up quite a debate here.
Thanks to all those who took the time to add their ten penneth! Have just received a very prompt reply from Xara - which not surprisingly refers me to the ctrl/drag technique to achieve the desired result.
But as commented - maybe the Fills gallery needs an overhaul all the time the Background button does not do what it previously did, nor what the Bitmaps gallery background button still does.
Soquili - thanks for going to the trouble of identifying the "change", nice to know it used to exist in Xtreme. Hope Xara can pick this up in the future, but for now the ctrl key can do its job!

Re: Background fills
You can have more than one version of xara installed and open at the same time. I wouldn't suggest trying to edit the same file in 2 versions a the same time tho.
If you liked how something was done in X1, do it in x1 and then open it in x4. Pretty simple. I wouldn't suggest going backwards tho. Objects in X4 that are particuliar in X4 will not be seen/shown in x1 and you will get a message warning of that when you try to open the file.
I have X1, xtreme, pro 3.2 and Xpro 4 installed right now.:) One of these days I am going to install 1.2 just for the halibut.
