I've tried my hand at creating a custom color pallet. I put together a pallet of browns. It's seems I'm always searching for just the right brown.
Any way I've attached my .xar file and a .pal file created with XPAL that can be copied into the Xara pallets folder, all in one Zip file. Maybe some may find it useful. Enjoy
I will always be searching for the right browns.
Because that is the color area which is deminished
in my eyes, meaning that I can`t distinguish between
different shades of brown, so i have actually no clue
how the chart you made actually looks like.
Yes I know, it isn`t such a big deal, I can life with it ;)
Very nice.
Brown is just a very deep and rich orange.
Nice browns, Frances, thanks.
I just wish that Xara had the option to stack rows of colors to make it easier to find what you want.

Thanks Frances. Finding or creating the right brown can be difficult. You have made things much easiers.
Very kind of you to share, Frances.Quote:

Gnar, gnar Steve! :rolleyes:
Frances - As Soquili reminded me a few days ago), you can sort for various attributes (see attached).
In the Color Gallery, click on Options > Sort > and select your Primary and Secondary sort criteria.
TIP: Remember the original settings. It's sometimes hard to go back.
Thank you Frances :)
Very generous, thank you
You are all most welcome. I'm glad that some of you are finding it useful. Sometimes its fun just playing around mixing colours, and on the computer there's no mess to clean up after.:D
cool ...Im not the only one then...
I do this also....(or something similar)
IE create a grid of squares that contains the colours i am using in a design...
And sometimes even tiles for unique fill/filter combinations ETC
As in these vector programs (corel,xara ETdc) it is not as easy as in a raster (bitmap ETC) paint program to see on the pallete all the colours in your design ETC.....
This would be a nice feature actually...if you could have an automatic mode that would show on the palete only those colours and unique properties ETC that objects have in the design....
P.S. Those colours do look practical too... good stuff...
David does not the Xtreme colour gallery show the colours used in the opened document for you?Quote:

Have you set your option to delete unused colours on save/load ? The colour line then shows those used in the design.Quote:

Wow, Thanks Frances.
My son was just looking at Paul's Guest Tutorial, and was stuck with making a brown background.
Fantastic timing, as browns have me beat for some reason.

Sledger;
No im a newbie cobber:D...still working (supposedly) on my first design...
Its quite ambitious for my first one on xara and so it probably wont be done for a few months as i havent had a spare minute in the last week to work on it....
most of the work was done in the first day
...iE i spent about 5-8 hours virtually straight on it and its probably 70% done quality wize as in it looks about 70% done but im a bit of a perfectionist and so are probably only about 15% done time wise as i have alot of overlays and filter experimentation to do to get the effects im looking for...
Alot of trial and error.....
but im sure it will spawn some posts in the process...
anyway thanks for the heads up on the colour thing.....
