Hi Ian,

For the slice to work, you need a filled shape - otherwise you'll just end up slicing the outline of the circle from the photo.

Easiest thing to do:

1. Right click on the outline...

Egg,

That's exactly the information I was looking for. Now I feel stupid that after using Xara on and off since 2000 I still didn't understand the basics :) If I didn't live so far from Essex I'd...

Hi all,

99% of my use of Xara is for designing websites and producing website graphics. On web pages, there is no such thing as half a pixel - everything is placed on pixel boundaries.

What I...

Hi Xara Support,

If you're still watching this thread I still haven't heard back from support - I'd be grateful if you could check it out for me...

James

Thanks for chasing for me. Have PM'd my ticket number

Regards,

James Frost

I know this has been mentioned a few times recently, but I submitted a support ticket (non technical - was just after a VAT invoice for my Pro 3.2 upgrade I purchased recently) last Monday (8th Oct),...

Thanks for the tips guys. Will give them a go!

Hi,

I've been using Xara for years and have never gotten around to asking this, so thought i'd finally get around to asking it (last time I posted here was 5 years ago - boy that went fast)
...

Haven't stopped around here since X1 came out, and I come back and find news about X2. Good stuff.

Anyway, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the question from a web developer's standpoint.

I...

First up, make sure your slice rectangle has no line on it (a bit obvious but it has caught me out before!).

Secondly, try creating a bitmap copy of the graphic then slicing that rather than the...

Love the design. Nice, clear and effective.

One thing though - I realise you're probably not a native english speaker but if you want a hand sorting out the grammar on your frontpage I'm sure...

I've got it running at home on Windows XP Beta 2 and have had no issues with it at all.

I have IE5.5 SP2, default config, Win2K. If I switch to offline then IE caches the images locally and works.

The cache setting is set to Automatic (under Tools->Internet Options->Temporary...

Incidentally, the JavaScript code that Xara creates *is* the correct (or at least accepted) way of doing cross browser (at least the common ones) image preloading, and therefore the problem is more...

Getting caching to work correctly is a nightmare because its up to a combination of the client browser *and* the web server dishing out the pages.

There are HTML META-tag headers you can use to...

I find the Xara colour picker far too much of a distraction for use with other web tools - if I open Xara to check out a web colour I invariably start playing with it and get no work done!

James

Another option is to go for a new IDE RAID motherboard and set up some mirrored IDE hard disks. The basic premise is that both hard disks are unlikely to fail. If one does, you can use the other. It...

Nice effort, but lacks a couple of things:

1/ Hex values are not in the correct 6 digit web format (ie #c0c0c0 for windows grey)

2/ No facility for copying out the colour value to the...

I also came down the Acorn route, but didn't find out about (Corel) Xara until much later.

I had an Acorn A3000 back in the early nineties and played around with !Draw lots (I was only about 13 at...

Although I find XaraX easy to use, there are areas in the interface where XaraX strays a bit from the standard Windows guidelines. When I first started playing with Xara 2 a few years ago it took me...

I'd agree with Gary that there is a lot going on (if the text was underneath, as he suggested, you'd be better off when you needed to scale the size of the logo too).

One other thing though, the...

Tracey,

If you're title has shadows/bevels on Xara creates a nice big border around the vector objects (to accomodate the anti-aliasing).

If you turn the quality slider right down to wire...

You should be fine with a PII 300 - but would recommend the extra RAM (its nice and cheap these days)

The lowest spec machine we've got running Win2K in my office is an elderly Pentium Pro 200...

Highly recommended. I've not found anything that makes me want to go back to Windows 95/98 and wouldn't touch ME with a barge pole.

The only reason to stick with 98 would be for hardware reasons...

FYI, it appears this product has been discontinued...
