You have WD5 specified in your profile. This thread s about WD7P tweakset. The tweakset for WD5 can be found here: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=37550

Tweakset is a set of the code snippets and page templates that expands web features of Web Designer. For more information, download and read manual.htm.

Hi All,
Which Tweakset should I use for Designer Pro 7 - the one for XWD7Premium or XDPro6?

Thanks in advance.

You can use WD7P tweakset with WD7. The only problem you may have is that you will not be able to manually edit the background color of the background tiling tweaks. So you'd have to use them from WD6 tweakset.

Hi John

Thanks so much for responding so quickly.

I am really sorry - don't mean to be dim, but I don't really understand what you mean re manual editing of the background tiling. Please could you say exactly what I can do to remove the nonworking tweak from that set and replace it with the tweak from the WD6 tweakset.

Sorry to be so dim.

Read the manual. The tile horizontally, tile vertically, and no tiling tweaks may require you to edit the background color, as the bitmap fill does not cover entire window in this case. If you use the WD7P tweaks in WD7, you will not be able to edit the code as described in the manual. But WD7P tweakset has some new tweaks not present in WD6 tweakset so you may like to have them.
Do not remove anything. Just install both tweaksets. You'll be able to use any tweak from any tweakset this way.

Thanks so much, John. That's exactly what I wanted. Didn't know whether two tweaks sets would conflict, but I suspect they won't provided I don't use both on the same thing.

Thanks again.

I too am getting a problem (XDP7). When I follow the instructions, the folder location that I extracted the downloaded folder to is displayed in the designs gallery. Click on this and I get a box with a cross titled 'manual'. If I check inside the XWD 7 Tweaks folder on my desktop, I can see the individual .xar and .web files, a catindex.txt file and a Xara Info folder, so I know they have been extracted okay ........ help!

Oh disaster! I migrated a large site from WD6 to WD 7 Premium - all pages used the Dynamic Page tweak, which involved a complex naming exercise of the backgrounds, I recall, and an edit to the 'footer begin'. In the transfer all the naming of elements seems to have disappeared. I guess I need to go right through the site and name the backgrounds again.

Be warned!

In the transfer all the naming of elements seems to have disappeared.

Do you mean that all the objects have no names assigned?

That's the way it seems - I only specifically named the backgrounds, in order to make Dynamic Page work on all the pages (a tedious workaround, I know, but it did the job).
