The last-used font should be highlighted in the font list, so if you've mistakenly chosen to apply a face you don't want, you can go to the font's neighbor in a click, rather than scrolling through a...

Yeah. I know. Sad to say I'm not a programmer.

Or I'd grant your wish.

And give us the option to define the shade of grey in the UI.

:)

I think we could have a win/win here if a shade of a color was auto-linked to the parent colour. By doing that, we can still do massive recoloring by redefining the original colour, right?

I use the template, by design, to make it faster to choose "the neighborhood" of a wanted color. Then I use the colour Editor to hone in on the exact colour, and if I want to use it again, I add it...

Ah, that's one more reason why MAGIX should ley The Xara Group develop Designer and DTP program separately rather than sharing all the code. Auto page numbering is nice. It's nice in Adobe InDesign,...

Ron, I'm sure this is not the answer you're looking for, but it's a semi-quasi-related answer. 118063

Illustrator and CorelDRAW (I'm getting as sick as you all are when referring to CorelDRAW) both have the option of specifying whether ea stroke along a path ("outline thickness") should travel...

Very true. I don't know Xara very well, and confused myself while typing post #65

(rhetorical answer) I'm old, I use CorelDRAW, Illustrator, Affinity, and Expression: I can't commit to memory all the different UI names, and I'm not being defense :).

In any event, Fred got the...

Hey, Fred—

Yes. I know you know. There are already three products, all drawing products, that can do what you've asked for: CorelDRAW (make new stroke), Illustrator, and the 16 year old Creature...

Hi Fred—

It's not what you ask for, and I too would lie more control over Pressure Profiles. But if a Profile s going the wrong way, you can reverse the path from the InfoBar while the Shape tool...

Nice feature. In lieu of Xara Designer lacking this feature in this version, you might want to download , Notepad++
free as a fully functional text editor,which offers an entire section of case...

Charles mentioned years ago that the pressure profile path widths woulds eventually accept user input to make any sort of progression the artist needs.

CorelDRAW X8 isn't up...

I’d really like to see:

•Consistency between open documents for last-used font, attributes, and so on. Or at least make it an option. Even though Xara has a multi-document interface, I’d prefer to...

+1. These are little recipes that are made up of outline attributes, bevel amount , mask overlays, and other features Xara does indeed have.

Not just presets, but let us cobble our own styles?

Ironically, I use Xara for just about everything except for image editing, where the engineers are putting a lot of effort.

Xara needs:

• The capability to read and write image data to several...

+10 on all of the above.

I, too, used to use a vector drawing program to composite rendered layers.

I finally turned to Photoshop after eons of disappointments.

And more galleries, perhaps even being ab le to minimize the galleries to a right-edge vertical dock of icons, as Adobe does, rather than teensy icons and text that's usually not possible to...

+5 here. Xara is my default drawing program. I know all the shortcuts like tying my sneakers, and it's light and fast.
Can't it gain some weight though, and still be fast?



How about asking...

I think all of this is a result of having to work with 30 year old code that the programmers are sort of locked into and need to create kludges.

Compare calligraphic or "nozzle-type" brushes in...

Oh, perish the thought, Frances!

I have far too many shortcuts stored away in my pinhead. Often, I try to push a zoomed-in page in Photoshop by wheel-dragging the mouse, and Ctrl+F doesn't do a...

Add to this: I don't always want the most recently used attributes applied to a new object...most of the time, but not all of the time.

Rather than wasting time going to Options to turn it...

If you were ever to try CorelDRAW versions 10 and higher, the brush tool produces a stroke at the speed of light, unlike some of the other functions. Excessive nodes don't exist when you use a mouse...
