Hi Netsi,

If I were you I would just create you own bounding box for your gif by creating a rectangle behind your drawing, change the color to the background color that you want and resizing it to the desired size and including it in your export. If you want a transparent background you should be able to make your "bounding box" transparent by applying a flat transparency set at 99.5%. I don't have Xara on this machine so I can't test this out right now, but it should work.
