Xara Designer Pro 11 circular navigation wheel

[AndFarr]

The product display video for Designer Pro 11 shows a circular navigation wheel to toggle between the various tools.
Is that navigation wheel actually a feature in Designer Pro 11?
If so, How do you like it? How well does it work? Any drawbacks to using it?
Thanks !

No that wheel is not a part of the Designer Pro interface at all. The program UI has had no updates It's still the same dark UI with the same keyboard shortcut to go back to the old light UI.

I do think that the video is rather misleading(it makes it appear that the program has had a major UI update which is definitely not the case) and I'm sure produced by Magix not Xara. Perhaps they have different advertising standards in Germany, but here it would be false or misleading advertising and that's not a good thing.

Any chance of a link?

Oh, I agree, that's all smoke & mirrors and should fall foul of the advertising standard authority

Smoke and mirrors doesn't really cover it, Egg. This is in the realms of fantasy and is utterly misleading.
If indeed it's the handiwork of Magix, then I can't say I'm surprised. Following their shabby treatment of Gary Bouton, they have now sunk even further in my esteem.
If it isn't Magix, but some third party, then they should sever their asscociation with that third party and issue an apology for the misleading nature of the video.
