Are the website widths and the suggested variant widths still valid? Phones and devices have evolved since the introduction of websites in Xara, but the width recommendations in Xara (Pro+) have not changed. Any insights are appreciated. Thanks. Dan

Dan, my goto size is 1440px Main and 720px Variant but I also may tweak a Registry setting so the cut across is not 50% to make any font size transition less marked. Xara in its UI for variants does not recalculate the breakpoints, it will still show 50%.Quote:

- Or, press F3 and search on "MultiWidthBreakpoint", without the double quotes. Check in the top edit field you have the right HTML Filter version.
- In the right pane, double-click in the (Default) Name and change the value of 50 to your new breakpoint percentage.
- Click OK and close the Registry.
- Run your XDA. Preview and check where the breakpoint now occurs.
When the value is 50(%), you take the Variant width away from the Main width and use that percentage.
The breakpoint is the Variant width plus this value.
Bp = (Mw - Vw) * (Registry entry) / 100 + Vw.
For (1440, 720, 50) you would get a Bp of 1080px.
For (1440, 720, 37) you would get a Bp of 986px.
For (1024, 480, 50), you have 754px.
For (1024, 480, 65), you have 812px.
