Or:

When are the folks at Xara going to grasp that "GUI" means "GRAPHICAL user interface" - and not "TEXT user interface"??? Why don't they hire a DESIGNER (like Gary Priester) do their interfaces, instead of some visually challenged C++ expert?

PS: If this is not constructive criticism, I don't know what would qualify.

Why don't the folks at Xara hire you, Klaus?

All of my interfaces would be tan with teal headers [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

"tan with teal headers" - I shudder at the very thought! Hopefully, one of their C++ experts will put your GUIs through a decolorizing subroutine!

Nah, I won't work for Charles Moir.

Yesyesyes. I'd like a sort of KPT3 interface, So find Kai Krause and ask him... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I liked Gary's tan coloured background of the old xarazone, it was nice n' easy on the eyes. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I guess I'm just an old "fuddy duddy," but I like the words in the dialogue boxes. Xara tends to follow the Windows convention used by other programs. The right word is better than a diagram open to interpretation.

And those KPT interfaces, don't get me started on those!

If Xara made the next big XaraX release skinnable, we could all make the kinds of UI we wanted! Free at last!

On the other hand, maybe Xara should concentrate their programming efforts on making the web features workable? Not to mention all the other small and big annoying things which so urgently needs fixing!
