Good-lookin' stuff, Dennis. I wish I could see the products even larger -- another one of those minor gripes I have with CafePress. How's the shop working for you? Have any CafePress tips to pass on?

Huh... y'know, when you "design" the calendar product on the CafePress site, it shows you the whole page. It's 11x17, with the upper half being your image and the lower being the days of the month....
My family was bugging me this year for a calendar of my photography, so I finally got around to it (OK, a month too late, really, but hey, I did it!). I've been using Xara since '96, and I do nearly...
AH, never mind - I'm so used to using the transparency tool for this stuff, I didn't think about the plain old fill tool. That works a treat. Thanks!
Thanks for the response... but I'm afraid I don't quite follow. How did you add points of color to the gradient? This may do the trick, but double-clicking in the middle doesn't seem to have any...
OK, here's one I'm sure is easy, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it:
I want to create a white rectangle, except I want the corners to smoothly fade to dark grey. I think I...

Whoops - my bad. Apparently in the distant past I had set my mouse to keystroke Ctrl-N when pushing the centre button, so yeah, X1 does conform to the norm and I'm the odd duck. And upon further...
Thanks for the tips, Soquili... but that still doesn't compensate for what is, for me, a real problem with X. Why does pressing the mouse wheel button open a new drawing? Who uses that? Why can't I...
Playing with X1, and I really appreciate the solid drag thing... but the one feature I really, really expected and hoped for above all others is still AWOL -- why, oh why, isn't there more...

I just won a Xara convert from Freehand who came up with an interesting question. Apparently, he makes flowcharts in Freehand by applying a "stroke" to a piece of text that automatically draws a box...

The question isn't really Athlon vs. Pentium, it's really just which Athlon and motherboard. The Athlon is faster and cheaper than Intel's processors, and there are no compatibility issues.
I've...
MAN, this is a great, great, great tip. Like Ross, I sometimes need to work with .wmf files exported from CAD and GIS, and this is just nifty.
Let us know how your experiments go, Ross!
Thanks, Sean!! It was the Top & Left settings that were screwing me up. Whew!
I'm using 1.0c with an HP LaserJet 5000N printer. I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to print things the proper size. When I print an 8.5x11 page at 100% scale, it's too big for the...

Usually, I absolutely despise the multiple floating palettes look... but Real-DRAW Pro's are actually pretty smartly designed. I merely dislike these, and that's mostly just on principle.
What I...
Thanks, guys! Quentin, I appreciate the tips, and Smorg, I'll give your suggestion a shot - it sounds perfect!

OK, this isn't strictly Xara-related, but I'm going out of my skull trying to find an answer here, and you guys are usually smart and quick with an answer...

Say, Gary, this has nothing to do with gels, but there's something that's been bugging me for awhile...
Let's take a look at your Apple tabs example... in Apple's version, the background lines are...
That's embarassing. Thanks, Smorg. I never even noticed that little button before. I'm reminded of the story I just read on The Onion: "Area Man Less Capable Than Own Watch". Definitely a case of...
Is it just me, or does X 1.0c not save the default page settings like it should? Page settings and ruler settings don't seem to stick, but other options do.
My copy of X, BTW, did something really...
