I'm guessing you created this by converting two characters to editable shapes then cutting and combining them together.
Now that you have your desired hybrid character, you may find you get better...
Xara icon bars are very easy to customise. Just choose the Control Bars option from the Window menu, which you no doubt have used to adjust the size/position of the the standard icon bars.
All you...
I'd admit to using Xara similarly to how Gary describes.
Almost all of my drawing is done using the Shape Editor tool, and where I need to I use the Freehand tool.
I never ever use the Pen tool...
Had a look at the S-Sline demo and was admittedly impressed. For some, but not all types of image, the quality of enlargements is better than normal bicubic re-sampling, particularly for retaining...
If you are prepared to play around a bit further, by resizing the picture up, applying a slight blur then resampling back down, you can obtain what is a slightly less "clinical" appearance, but none...
Small type is always troublesome to ant-alias correctly, and in most cases it is better to not anti-alias at all, as in the top button in your example.
I had a play around myself and produced the...
Two options spring to mind immediately, you can either select "no colour" for the line colour after fitting the text to the curve, or if you do not need the text to be editable, simply convert the...
Its a real shame I can't even see this fantastic background (or the "interface") - my browser shows a missing image icon.
And no wonder, with the reference to it in the source like this!

I have to agree with Robax, having experienced the "disappearing Xara" phenomenon on far too many occasions.
I can't put my finger on a definate course of action leading to the crash, however Xara...
Or maybe just use the colour drop-down selector in the Guide tab of the layer properties dialog?
Humble pie if I'm wrong, but do I detect a spot of photoshop's Lens Flare plug-in?

Just to let you know I solved the problem with Xara crashing at start-up.
I reformatted and re-installed Windows, however Xara Still continued to crash, which was a mystery.
I decided to...
Ross,
Unfortunately my original Xara files are kinda too large to post here. However if you follow the link to my old website and view the Vector versions of the ship schematics, you should find...
Thanks very much, Ric.
I wish at times I could spend some more time doing work like that for fun, however the content of the Trekart site was born from times when I wasn't hard at work developing...
Ross, I do have a site for some of my Star Trek pics - its old now and I've not done anything with it for years (despite threats from people who keep wanting to see new stuff!!)
Its at...
How did I do the lights?
To be perfectly honest, there is nothing special about the lights, just lots of various transparencies placed cunningly together. I used blends to achieve a glow type...
Nick,
I think I must be the person you're thinking of. They're quite old now, being done way back when CorelXara 2 was released (some were even started with Xara 1.5).
For your delight (!) here...
Well I think its fair to say you have a little way to go, but hopefully this 100% Xara creation will inspire you /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Sean, Thanks for your advice. I installed Xara on a second machine that was Win2K SP1. I applied SP2, then went to WindowsUpdate and applied just about everything going. Couldn't recreate the problem...
Sean,
I tried creating the Dr Watson file several times. Each time I deleted it before running Xara; the same file was produced every time.
I don't get any clue from Xara at all. After I start...
After doing a virus check on my machine I have found a word document with the macro virus "W97M_MARKER".
Could this have anything to do with Xara crashing when I try to run it?
(Nothing else on...
Ok, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing XaraX.
I've tried re-installing to a different path.
I've searched the registry for everything "Xara" and deleted all references and keys, then...
Xara has stopped working!! I can't recall anything I've done to my PC out of the ordinary recently, however Xara X (1.0aa), which I've been using without a problem ever since first installing it, no...
