John you don't give the less experienced much to go on. Joke Artist means that when you move the red contour nodes the default for 4 is used which you then have to change and it would be better if it was 1 and I agree with that. I don't like messing about in the registry of my machine so therefore shamefully I have not use Bill's small programme but I think you would be able to change it with that?
It doesn't do that unforunately ... maybe he could impliment it but at the end of the day if someone can mod such things why aren't these options (i.e. that things you can mod with his utility) not included in Xara as standard. As it is a helpful program. Options are always good!Quote:

Then the default template could be updated with personal settings. The same result is achieved without unnecessary dialogue and option clutter (the art of software design).Quote:

NICE IDEA!
Xara are you listening?
Yes.Quote:
