When one grasps where to use Flexible Blocks and where to use Freehand Blocks, design gets easier:

Here's today's update: included the use of Clip View to create an interesting effect that...

Thanks Acorn, this issue seems to occur only with a FlexBlock, where an object being inserted into the FlexBlock has a width => to the page width; the FlexBlock extends to accommodate the increased...

Not sure about that: if a drag an image from the bitmap gallery into view, but NOT into a FlexBlock, resize it to the same width as the page (i.e. 1280px); then add it to the FlexBlock, it extends...

First pass though web blocks: I can see the productivity gain.

My start point was to better understand how FlexGroup’s work, alignment, padding and object margins. The upside for using a...

I am with Egg here in that there are simply better alternatives for creating slideshows and sliders. Where the design calls for some level of automation and transition, then at least for me, it makes...

No sure why your buttons would be skewed, but here is a baseline shift example from the demo: 134769.

As Egg said though, unless the scrolling menu is fundamental to the design, just have the menu...

Bill, several ways of resolving this and one of them is explained here: https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/satmenu

Another commonly used (historically at least) method is to group the text with a shape...

Interesting ideas Acorn - had a play using the sepia and contrast filters, added a standard Xara animation, and a link from the photo to its website. The result is posted to an old demo for hovers:

The Xara Media Player has always been a bit quirky:

1. Here is an example where if one drags the MP3 onto a popup, the MP3 will correctly play AND pause when the popup closes (unlike the standard...

The original work was developed for this website with Acorn's direction and help: http://www.jonphilibert.com/jukebox.htm

The concept a uses a plugin which can is inserted into the same directory...

Rather frustrating Acorn, it works in v19 but not in the current Pro+ version; somewhat a backwards step and should be flagged to Xara. I discovered this a few days ago; I had to go back to v19 to...

A truly great job Chris!

Curiosity had the better of me here; if you take the audio stream itself then you don't need a variant and can start with a simple audio tag:...

There is no doubt there are many ways to manage a scenario where the designer wants to create working drop-down menus. Where the drop-down menu has numerous links, the classic vertical down-down can...

One problem with your slider is images become horizontally compressed (distorted), as can be seen when you squeeze a desktop browser. Acorn's fade-in fade-out slider in this thread works well, but if...

Not sure if this meets your requirement? https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/slideMenu/

I just used a standard Xara Navbar (for another unrelated demo).

XAR file: 134117

Without Scale-to-fit-Width it works perfectly; apply StfW and I am not sure that it still works (at least it didn't for me)?

Interesting Acorn, I would not of thought to apply it to just one image; hopefully the OP can share the output. Your separate presentation design is my go-to for all the sliders I do.

Thanks,

I used the WOW slider with some CCS additions to allow text over the slider > https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/wow-animation/. Full Width with Scale-to-fit-Width.

Should you want to create a footer on each and have it attached to the bottom of each page (regardless of the height of that page), then here is an example that does not need web-blocks:...

Ich,

One approach is to have the Hamburger icon point to a separate menu page which scrolls the same as any other; this could be embedded into a popup menu too:

e.g.>...

I had a play with the Xara Video Container - loaded it to a Desktop 1280px, created a mobile variant 640px (and the placeholder was SHARED), set Export Scale-to-Fit-Width. All looks OK with the video...

[1] Relatively easy to provide you with a updated template that has a mobile variant if that helps?

[2] Do you have digital access to the original photos and videos? If not, and assuming you have...

Is this the site we are talking about: https://www.neapoli-crete.com/index.htm? It looks like your site started life as a Not-for-Profit template but moved on significantly from that template with...

I have added a short note on how to embed the custom Xara slider into any main website and provided a download of the example I posted here: https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/Icecream-Video/
