It's been a long time since I fully switched to Mac. I stopped using Xara within a few years since maintaining a windows VM just for Xara ended up consuming a lot of time. However, I've kept checking...

If you look at the images you'll see that the shift is to red on one side and green on the other. This seems to be like Clear Type on Windows or "Medium" on OS X. What it does is on LCS panels it...

They are anti-aliased using Clear Type-like rgb anti-aliasing? That's bizarre, no? How was that done? Gary?

This isn't some new feature of Xara X 2, is it?

I'd buy it without any hesitation. And then I'd try and get everyone in my office to start using it (we're full on OS X now).

I want a new version of Xara X quite badly, mostly because I don't use it anymore.

The features I need are:

1. industry-standard keyboard shortcuts. This is happening, look at Photoshop,...

I was interested in Graeme's comment that Klaus helped him with some tips on creating metal effects. Graeme or Kalus: care to share? Or did I already miss it?

Mac OS X already has icons with full transparency, and also supports larger icon sizes, with very nice anti-aliasing.

I wish Xara would make a verion of X for Mac OS X.

Last summer I sold t-shirts for my mp3.com band on cafepress. I made $50.

I have to wholeheartedly disagree with Gary here. This problem, which is actually more far reaching than you state, is horrendous!!! It is serious and still we have not seen ANY update from Xara....

Web safe numbers are easy to identify when they are in hex because each color is either 00, 33, 66, 99, CC or FF.

3366CC is web safe... 3A6EA5 is not.

This is pretty US-centric as noone but Americans can have paypal accounts. I could do your job, but since I'm Canadian I'd never get paid.

Flash supports transparency much better than gifs. gifs only have 1 bit transparency while flash has true alpha channel transparency which can be used for transparent multi step gradients among other...

Actually, the right thing to do is set Flash's resolution to 96. No reason why it can't be, and it will save you all hassle. I forget where this is, I can't find it in Flash 5 but in 4 I think it was...

yes, it would be nice. setting up a grid of 10pix with 10 divisions and snapping to the grid helps, but is NOT perfect.

Good comparison. I'd like to see them in xara, but that's not neccessary. Seems that Xara export is only missing a few things - joined shapes and blends. I think the blends might be intentional to...

ivca that animation is GREAT.

Also, the two comparision images both have errors! The swf drops the b+w rear and also a section of the tailpipe, but the mirror in the ai is just white! It is hard...

The current animation controls are too basic for flash export. Hopefully a new version (however far off) will include more robust animation controls which will let us replace flash with Xara.

No need to expand the installer - the file is also in Xara X/templates/brushes

Also, here is a cool new feature: gifs (and possible more) show up with previews in the open dialog box. I've wanted...

To use alpha transparency, you need something that is already transparent. use the transparency tool and THEN make a bitmap copy.

The only problem is that the profile dialogs wont stay on screen! It is driving me insane that they blip away at the first press of the arrow!

I was hoping that Xara would adopt more of a...

I'd like to be able to save color pallettes I create when I export a gif/png. I'd REALLY like them to be saved with the document (perhaps in the name gallery) and export/importable to other...

Great Poll.

Funny results - looks like Xara is already too late, they have lost the faith of the Xara obsessed.
