Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
Just purchased Web Designer Premium, and have been tinkering around with it a bit ... as have some others I know on another forum. We are all current / former Serif WebPlus users who are looking for a viable alternative since Serif has dropped WP and Xara looks like a good alternative. I've personally played with Xara Webdesigner 10 Premium on and off this last year, as have a couple of the others.
Looking at the program and the "website variations" it seems that it will save me some work and avoid building two sites from scratch.
That being said, I am wondering if there is a way to customize the "Hoover Widget 3" (see attached file) so that the background behind the text is not tied to any particular color in the color scheme, nor defaulting to black.
Thanks.

Re: Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
Not easy to explain but you need to create a named colour 'Theme Color 1' and edit the widget in step 2 to use this named color. NOTE: if you don't keep this named colour on the page and have 'Delete Unused Name Colours on Save' this is lost.
See attachment.

Thanks Egg, that was sooooo easy when you follow clear instructions.

Cheers Roly,
I think this needs some more thought by Xara to make this intuitive. At the moment this widget doesn't contain, nor retain the named colour 'Theme Color 1'

I agree Egg, thank God for fixes by Egg.

Maybe it's a typo on my part, but renaming one of the theme colors 'Theme Color 1' didn't change anything. Tried loading a color theme that already had a 'Theme Color 1', nothing changed.
Removed the photo hover reloaded color theme, background still black.
Apparently I'm not doing something right, but unsure what it is.
Re: Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
ok, my bad. So I go into the "edit mode" (correct nomenclature ?) for the widget ... there I assign a color theme to the widget. Once that is done save and the color does change to whatever the page has for "Theme Color 1"
May take a bit of getting used to as I am used to being able to assign any color or gradient to a panel.
Thanks for taking time to help.

Glad you got it sorted Dijenga. I agree, it's not very intuitive.
Re: Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
Lon over at the BODMIN forum has come up with a way to "work around" the problem ...http://www.webplus-support.co.uk/boa...c=294.msg0#new
BTW, he seems to be having trouble getting logged in here. (http://www.webplus-support.co.uk/boa...sg2191#msg2191)

Has a moderator deleted a post here? Dijenga posted a link to:

However I can't open this post on TG only via the email notification.
Re: Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
That said I have difficulty with understanding Lons post on this link.
He appears to be no longer using the widget and as such uses named colours that aren't really required.
I don't know why he's having issues logging into TG
Re: Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
Yeah, one missing. Perhaps not allowed to post link to another forum, but I just didn't feel right copying and pasting Lon's post here about his work around.
Maybe if he can get logged on here, he'll share it.
Re: Editable Widget ... "Any color you want, as long as it's black?"
Yes, I can't understand what's going on either Dijenga. Your post but last before this was being flagged in TG but not displaying.

Both, it is simply down to timing - too late for me and too early for Gary P. Post is now available.
