In Xara Xtreme 0.7, I found a file: "~/.xaralx/standard.gpl".
This is a GIMP color palette, but not the standard Xara Xtreme palette. :o
Where are the color palettes and is it possible to change the swatches? :confused:

Hello Xtra,
Development on XaraLX, the Linux version of Xara Xtreme has not been picked up by the Linux developer community. The last update I am aware of was almost 2 years ago.
Linux, Windows, Mac, whatever... Ok, then no.Quote:

There is no Mac version of Xtreme so that is automatically a no. :)
For the Windows version the answer is a resounding YES. :)
You can include Photoshop .aco swatch files and Photoshop colour books.
See attached image showing a portion of the Color Gallery from my installed Xtreme Pro 4.0 colour palettes.
I see, Xara is not a complete open source program and do not support open and open source file format and linux and mac equitable ... :mad:
Can you post the supported file formats?
The Xtreme help file shows the following:
Palette Import Formats
.CPL CorelDRAW Palette
.PAL CorelDRAW Palette
.PAL Microsoft Palette
.PAL PaintShop Pro Palette
.ACT Adobe Color Table
.ACO Adobe Color Swatch
Although not mentioned in the help file Xtreme also uses a .jcw file format for color palettes. I have searched using google and cannot find any reference to that format.
thx, but this is boring.
Makes it all worthwhile, eh Bill? :D
Saludos,
Bob.
Funny. Xara is not a complete open source program, and so it does not support open format. And so, bye!
XaraLX is complete open source. There's not a tiny proprietary bit that I'm aware of.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xara_Xtreme
"License: Proprietary and GNU General Public License"
http://www.xaraxtreme.org/Developers...tributing.html
"The Xara LX source code is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL)."
The wikipedia page describes multiple products. Some of them, Like Xtreme are proprietary, while Xtreme LX is comletely open source.
In other words, entire source code of the Xtreme LX is open and released under GNU. It does not use any proprietary code.
The Windows Xtreme is a different product with different licensing.
But I though you were talking about LX, don't you?
John the CDraw code is proprietary and has been the reason many Linux developers have not wanted to contribute.
The linux developers wanted access to the CDraw code which Xara Group Ltd. is understandably unwilling to release as open source. That would be like willingly putting themselves out of business.
Although the open source Cairo could be used to continue the Linux development by 3rd party coders. No one seems to want to use code that is not up to CDraw's abilities.
Well, sad story that is... :(
covoxer use for example Inkscape [1], support the Libre Graphics Meeting [2] or go to this event [3]. Inkscape is open source.Quote:

Why should I? Am I interested in Inkscape? :confused:
LX is open source. At least, all the code you need to add support for any palettes as discussed in this thread is as open as in Inkscape.
Another problem is that there's not much developers willing to do this. But that's the whole idea of open source: if you need the feature and it's missing - develop it! And there will be one missing feature less for you and all other users. Complaining about missing features is reasonable only with commercial software since you pay for it and you can't modify it. But complaining on open source is complaining on yourself.
Well said John.
Because Inkscape use for example the same code for any operating system platform and support open color palettes!Quote:

Only because there are numerous linux programers working on Inkscape, and none willing to work on XaraLX. That's whats really the saddest part.
I, myself have been very slowly working on learning some programing but, unfortunately I am not very handy at learning from text. But, once I do finally feel I have enough under my belt, and understand... I definitely plan on trying to work on adding this same type of functionality to XaraLX
But this is probably a long way off if depending solely on me:rolleyes:
