    Re: Font in Xara Browser

    Thanks for the link, Egg. However, nothing really changes, and that workaround is so painful in reality that it's much easier for me to create the text in Fireworks (which works perfectly) and export...

    Re: Font in Xara Browser

    True, but that's what's needed. There are times (quite often) when there is a requirement for small text as a graphic that's clearly not anti-aliased. For you not to be able to switch off...

    Re: Font in Xara Browser

    As Xara is now very much web-based, if there is no way to turn off anti-aliasing on a text selection then this is a MAJOR oversight. I can do it in every other graphics app I have, and to have go to...

    Re: Web Designer change template possible

    True, but it allows a designed template to change the whole site instantly; that was my point. As above, I stated that the graphics could be made in Xara/WD, the template made in (for example)...

    Re: Web Designer change template possible

    Joomla ;)

    And this is probably a better bet for anyone designing large sites as ,IMO, WD is targeted at the smaller site. A template based CMS solution (like Joomla) is a no-brainer for large...

    From personal experience, I've always found the Xara staff to be exceptionally helpful and also quick to respond. At least you're not dealing with...

    Re: Vertical Page Size Limitation

    If a page is 10,000 pixels high, that's the kiss of death for most people. I would have clicked away long ago. Maybe thinking about a better approach would pay dividends.

    Re: Considering a Career Change in Web Design

    I agree with Boobear that Joomla is a mighty fine CMS solution, straight out of the box. And fabulously free, too. I was thinking very much along the same lines as Tom Arah when I came across this...

    Re: Considering a Career Change in Web Design

    Right, this is a difficult one. You have to realize that there are almost the same number of web designers as there are end users. The market is saturated with web designers, and employers can now be...

    Re: Other Xara with Web Designer

    Well, I can tell you that you can have both WD and Xtreme open at the same time and just copy and paste between them. You can also drag and drop XAR files directly into WD, too.

    Re: email forms

    There is of course a wonderful alternative (IMO): Google Docs. You can generate a Google Form in the browser, no skills required, and just paste the code as a snippet. It's an i-frame (you can set...

    Re: Photo Removal..

    Steve, it's just my take on things, having been designing websites since '98 it just bugs me, and I see it as a pointless exercise. I'm also convinced it doesn't win a site customers, as it's...

    But why? Seriously. Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of web pages can save images with or without any code you insert. After all, apart form readily available freeware utilities that do this,...

    Just a little bit of thought in your page design will ensure that any potential problems will be negated. I'm very used to pixel precise layout, having used the layer facilities in Dreamweaver when...

    Which is why you must come to terms with the reality of HTML/different browsers. There's no perfect solution, sadly. You have the choice of playing safe, or not — it's your call. All I was asking for...

    There really isn't, honestly. CSS justification works great, and there is only the very slightest difference in how browsers display it. But, please remember, that each browser displays HTML...

    The simplest way, if you have Extreme, is to open both apps, create your text in Extreme, justify it, and then copy and paste directly into WD (and then you'll also be able to copy attributes...
  20. Re: [Question] - Applying an Anchor to a Text Selection; how to find.

    This is perfectly true, and very tiresome. I'm a little amazed it got through beta testing without someone seeing it, or at least amending the help file.
