There are a few very nice additions here, not sure if it the price has any relation to past upgrades since it seems there is no relation to price vs features but still it's nice to have. One thing that really is going to annoy me is changing a feature like right clicking on the color bar to set a stroke color. Is there a registry setting to go back to the way it was? I like the new features with the smart color but it's going to be a pain to have to right click and select a menu every time. It would be nice if you could [ctrl+rightclick] to still set the line color. I really dig the Lorem Ipsum feature and some of the easy rotation controls as well as being able to move a color blend, however one of the things that web designers use most is non smoothed or text with the antialiasing turned off. Right now to get that clean text look I have to typeset in Photoshop and then import an alpha PNG into Xara. I guess with the new feature of being able to edit a bitmap directly from Xara to Photoshop one workaround would be to create a transparent rectangle around the area you want to typeset, create a bitmap and then double click to edit it in PS.
Also I really hate the new color bar. Is it possible to open the old one. I would like to have primary colors at least added to the one that is now in 3.2.
My biggest gripe is the fact that it overwrites the old version of Xtreme Pro without even asking and doesn't even give you the opportunity to select an install folder.
