Visit also our great Brushes forum here at talkgraphics.com together with the amazing A-Z Index with a thumbnail for each brush, done by Christine.

It's a shame there isn't an indexed search function available in Xara to help select them, like there is for clipart.

Xhris,
I found that brushes slow down Xtreme loading, so I would offer a word of caution to folks with older computers before putting 9Mbs of brushes into the './templates/brushes' folder.

True, large xar files can slow loading down by a few seconds. You might only want some brushes (alphabetised wonderfully in the Swap Shop). You could make a single xar file containing your favourites and put that in the /brushes folder.

You do not have permission to post brushes created by me on your website - please remove them.

I found it slowed down the loading quite dramatically a few years back when brushes were first added. I don't know if they've improved it in later releases. I just keep my favourite brushes in a "brushes" folder and open that xar file when and only when I need it, copy the brush and paste it into the xar file I'm working on.

I don't think it's been sped up; it's essentially loading a xar file at startup, and bigger files will always likely take a longer time to load. I'm not sure which are my favourites yet; there are so many good ones.
Re: **Call For NEW BRUSHES**
Can't you just create a brush folder in the clipart gallery and drag and drop an object with the brush you want into your open doc?
It gets around the need to load large xar files, but for best results each brush has to be saved separately.
Hmm...having tested this, it does work, except I seem to be losing the colour of each brush?

It does and as a fix I keep all the brushes in a seperate file and when there is something I need I just open the one I want at that time. It really cuts down that lag time. :)
