Hi everyone I want to know:
1) How to make a metallic color effect
2) How to add a new font style that is downloaded from the internet
3) How to make an animated glow effect in pictures if possible

You can get most info on anything at the Xara Xone bar the fonts.
Just download the font to a folder on your desktop then "Copy" it from that folder, then navigate to: "DriveC/windows/fonts" Double click to get into the folder then right click in the fonts folder and "Paste" through the menu shown there.

Gary B, Gary P both have made tutorials which can give you a hand do your own. Gary P's did quite a few mentalic effects in his tutorials and chrome and gold can be see here: http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/wo...1/features.htm
I have done many metallic fills with different xara programmes and I have given them so everyone can use and you can download them from here; http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...etal-Gradients
Gary B's tutorial this month is about Neon which has a glow effect and would suit you so have a look there: http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/neon/
Now to animate this glow effect have a look at you help file in the programme and it will show you how to use Flash or an animate Gif file.

It's even easier than this, Pete.
Once downloaded just right-click the font file and choose 'Install'.

xaikus506 it looks like Pete and Steve took care of you.
I do have one question for you though. When you say "new font style". Do you mean installing a new font or making a selected font be the default font any time you type some text?

Do you have an example of what it is you are trying to do?
