Hi Zasz,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

That is a Gel Button. There is a .xar file in the clipart along with a tutorial showing how to create that type of button. If you installed from the CD the clipart will be on your hard drive. If you are using the downloaded version, open the clipart gallery and click the Get Clipart button. The tutorial is one of the .xar files that will be downloaded.

If you have purchased Xara, received your CD and installed Xara from the CD:

1. Open XaraX
2. Open the clipart gallery by pressing Shift+F10
3. In the window that opens up, open up the list of files named "Example XaraX Drawings 1 (CD)" by double clicking it
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and double click the file named "Gel Buttons"

Hi Zasz,

The tutorial mentions using named colours and linked colours. A reread of that part may help. Check out some of the workbooks at http://www.xaraxone.com. Workbook 51 http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook51/page_5.htm show gel buttons.

To make a circular button, simply create a circle by holding the Ctrl key down when using the ellipse tool.

I thing you dont understand...

In the software, clipart gallery > Xara X drawing 1 > Gel buttons..

If you open it, you see a guied to make gel... and u can take a readly gel button, i dont need to make 1 my self when i have 1 ready..

In the menu > help > movies there is a guied talk by a women how t me this..

Hello Zasz,

Try the attached xar file. The button has got a Named Colour which is the only thing you need to alter.
