I was taking a look around the Magix website and on Xara webdesign premium page I found this but it doesn't exist in the designs gallery - any ideas?

I just checked my version of WDP - 12.6.2.49603 dated April 25 2017
The Magix site shows May 2017 for the panoramic slider - I checked for updates for my version and all I got was an update for online designer - anyone explain this situation to me?
Do you have Web Designer Premium? The only thing I could see on that screen shot was for Premium users only.
Yip - it's in my post WDP ;)Quote:

I can't find it either but perhaps it's included in one of the website templates ???
You can do this with the Xara Slideshow Widget. With the stretch option you can fit the hole width of a screen. This widget is hostet at Xara. In the last Update is this widget missing. Why???Quote:

The last screenshot shows the „catindex” in c:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Xara\XtremePro\12\Cac he\designs\eng\components\imagecomponents\slidesho ws\catindex.txt. This entry you must enter.
Xara, unlike the cobblers' pixies snuck in one night and stole the widget away. In doing so, they changed catindex.txt so if you perform a refresh on your components, the missing entries then allows Xara to come into your house and rob you of the widget, stored locally.Quote:

Your detail is helpful but, I believe, once you have updated you local gallery, it's gone for good.

I understand that I can use the "fix" ypu mention, but I'm still curious as to why Xara/Magix would post this as a new feature as of May this year, but no-one can find it......Quote:

A press release.
A sales movie.
No API for Smart Shapes.
No update to the applications.

Premium advantage: Panorama photo slider
First impressions are key! Use full screen images for your slideshows and make your website an absolute eye-catcher. This showcases your images and communicates your website's message in an artistic way. Design the slider any way you want with a prominent call-to-action button and a customized header that jumps right out.
That does not make it into a panorama photo slider.
At least the Xara Slideshow Widget is back.

It's not available in the Online Gallery of WDP v12.6.2......Quote:

Is this what you are after?
I don't have anything working and I don't know if it will scale to the browser width.
The difference is the Xara slider will rotate through an number of images, while Pano allows the viewer to manipulate the viewpoint of a single panorama.
It probably could be turned into a slider.

Hi all,
Is there anywhere we can get these sliders? I am using WD 365 Premium and would love to have access to them. Are they sold seperately somewhere? It seems I remember sliders being advertised on Xara somewhere in the past. Sliders sure do give a great look to websites.

Hi Robert
I sometimes use Wowslider.
That's really interesting and I can an immediate use for guest house websites....Quote:
