Shadow Tool Upgrade

I'm currently using Xara Xtreme Pro 4. Well, I do an extremely large amount of drop shadows in my work. I had mentioned adding an option to be able to set the shadow tool like how we set the line widths and line styles. Well, when I use the shadow tool on almost every thing I build in a scene. I always want the shadow to be darker and crisper than the standard setting of 50% and 6pix. I would like to put that on the upgrade request list because it would be really cool to set the Shadow Tool to my preference. Thanks for a great program. I'm using it 14 hours a day and loving almost every minute of it.
Steps

Agreed. The ability to set shadow defaults would be very helpful.

Good one.

Hello,
I came from photoshop and I noticed that the shadow tool no matter I try to adjust it is still does not give me the same effect in photoshop , I think it need some enhancements

thanks

I agree with Steps request

Just a little nitpick about the original post.... the default shadow in 75% and 6 pix, not 50%. >:):)

Thanks for the support guys. Yeah, I wish the default setting was 50 so that I wouldn't have to change it 20x per day. But of course thats my style. I like a bit more constrast within my designs. Well, Keep up the good work Xara, you rock!

You should have to in the same Xara document.
Once you have set the shadow to 50% / 6pix (for example) - simply copy the object (ctrl+C) then for each new object where you want the same shadow setting, select it and press Ctrl+SHIFT+A (paste attributes). This will apply the same shadow settings every time.
(Note: It will also paste various other settings too - so be aware of this)
