  1. Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.

    Aha, so you're not discounting my work, just my ideas? :)

    What can I say? I truly love Xara Xtreme. It has really come through for me, and version 5 addresses many of the issues I've had doing...
  2. Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.

    Well, I think it's one thing to move on to a different program if it's not meeting your needs anymore, it's quite another to deliberately rain on the parade of an objectively great release to a...
  3. Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.

    You're right, I don't. Most of my stuff these days is for on-screen presentation. My point is that while some people may not be happy with the advances in certain areas, this release is making others...
  4. Re: Thank you and good bye! I'm no longer Xara's target audience.

    Wow... I popped in to see what people were doing with Xtreme 5 (and saying about it) and I was really surprised to see this post at the top of the threads.

    I just want to say I'm really...

    Ok, suppose that i were to make a bulleted list with the Wingdings3 font.

    Pretend the asterisks above are replaced with an arrow from that font. Wingdings3 is not a...

    Miscellaneous Web Export Questions

    Hi Guys! It's been -- what, I guess a couple years since my last post. Didja miss me? I've been playing with Xara a lot through that time, and I have to say that it's really won me over. I hardly...
  8. Re: Blending Objects with Bitmap Fills Along a Path

    Unfortunately, I see this problem still persists in Xara Xtreme Pro. :( I guess "due course" means "a year and a half or more?"

    Re: Is this Impossible?

    Ok, I figured out the bit about the inset square and I learned along the way that a graphic image can be the "text" as well. Now there's just one remaining hurdle to complete X3D nirvana...

    Re: Is this Impossible?

    Oh, VERY impressive. I'm just now trying to replicate this with my design. How is the small square inset inside the bigger one? And will I be able to apply a texture to it for the black/white parts?

    You'll see a spinning red tile. On each face of the tile is "etched" a different glyph....

    The problem is that you saved as a GIF file, which is limited to 256 indexed colors. Your choice is to either make a massive GIF file and hope Premiere can scale it down (which will lessen the...

    Blends and Animations

    Is there an easy way to take a blend and transform it into an animation?

    Consider these examples:

    1) I want a circle to expand from 3 pixels to 300 pixels diameter... one pixel at a time, one...

    I know you're right, but 72 is a lot better for those of us who were raised to believe there are 72 points in an inch and that one pixel on-screen is like one point in the real world. :)This would be...

    Expression is a great program. I posted a mini-review of it under another thread here. Expression was actually first released in 1997/98; it's been around a while. At first it was published by...

    As both your image and my image shows, the knobs get smaller in the middle of the blend. Furthermore, if you look closely in the example below, you see that the little "marker" on the knob is not...

    John, I'm not sure I see how limiting the blend to 0-90 is helpful, as the knob is constantly changing size? The poster needs to supply a "strip" of images that the destination application will use...

    Re: Determining "Matching" Colors

    Thanks for pointing me in that direction. It's a very nicely done Xara template. However I'm really looking for the actual formulas, as opposed to a tool that will do it for me.
