Larger range of colours at screen edge

[SeeB]

For the life of me I cannot find where to show a larger range of colours along the bottom of screen. Is there a way? I am sure there used to be a lot more.
It is a great effort at to get a pure white if you are choosing from the colour editor.
Thanks.

Hi SeeB,

If you click on the top right box in the color editor, you can see some more advanced options. the far right hand box lets you use the hexidecimal value for the color. White ="FFFFFF".

The Color line in XPro 4.0 has few default colors, and the default is to delete any new ones you create if they are not used in the document. so... If you go to the options menu and the viw tab, you can tell Xpro not to delete your colors when saving or loading.

I have attached my default templates, so you can have a few more colors to start with. Do a search here in the forum for default templates and you can find several from the more experienced users. Just save them to your XXXX:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme Pro 4\Templates\ENG directory to use them.

See screenshot...

Opening the colour gallery and right-clicking on one of the folders allows access to more colour line colours (see pic). You can also customise the default colour line and save it as a new template as John suggested.

XChris:

This is one thing about the Color Gallery that I think can be improved ... unless I'm overlooking something.

There no quick way of knowing which palette (folder) is being displayed on color line other than right-click on each one to see if palette has been check-marked.

Maybe the checkmarks could be shown in titlebar of each palette or the titlebar be given a different color. Another solution would be to right-click on the colorline itself and have it report the palettes being used.
