Hi Egg,

Yes, I had done the original XAR in Xtreme (before I purchased Web Designer). I originally was using the animation as a Gif with CSS positioning.

When I was redesigning the page using...

These are small enough, but will demonstrate the problem. If you look close there is animation going on!

I used this:

Thank you John. I am sure that is documented somewhere, right?

Hi Soquili,

That is what I did but the animation is just barely visibly!

I just dragged a stretch button onto a web page with a colored background and the button DOES NOT HAVE transparency! How is this to be used?

I created an animation in Xara Xtreme exported the .xar in WebDesigner as a SWF and have now placed it onto a the placeholder in Web Designer, but it is showing a miniscule graphic.

It appears...

Thank you Bill (Soquili) and Bob (iamtheblues) I think I can get a sliding door button done now, finally.

I will try that now, but what you say brings up another question. I was hoping to be able to reuse this complex button on other web sites but if I have to have the background colo(u)r included each...

Thanks, Soquili

Talk about old and forgetful!

Anyway, I changed the transparency to NONE.

And when I came back to the forum screen I realized you had uploaded changes for me. Thank you.

Ok, now how do I undo the linear transparency so that I can do the linear fill on my original file that was the full width button?

Thanks, Soquili.

I presume you mean the original .XAR file. It is in two parts and rendered using some CSS code.

This is getting better and better. Frustration level is now approaching the level of PSD movie slicing run around I got previously.

Here is a gif of the web page output.

How do I get the rectangle to be transparent around the curved ends.

I have a long horizontal rectangle (like a button) that has rounded ends, when exported to a GIF format and using the...

Thanks BF, I will give that a try.

Hi Big Frank,

No that's not what I said! I don't control who creates the web design. They turn over a psd and I have to work with it. This is not that uncommon. That is why I am looking to XX for...

Hi Soquili,

On the Xara Xtreme page http://www.xara.com/us/products/xtreme/tutorials-demos/?tab=xara

Under The Internet section is Image Slicing. This is the same in the Help/movies section of...

So you are saying that XX cannot slice a psd as PhotoShop can?

A web designer uses Photoshop to mock up a web design for a client and then the client has a web page coder take the design and make...

Can Xara Xtreme slice a psd page created by a web designer so that the graphics on the page can be used to build the web page?

In the movie on Image slicing the voiceover refers to another movie...

Wow Soquili too!?!?!?

The whole triumvirate is still here and running the show. Thanks for that info. Obviously I don't know how to save the colo(u)r change in the color gallery, because I DID set...

Hi Egg,

I remember reading many of your very insightful articles years ago. Glad to see you are also still around!


#container {
text-align: left;
margin: auto;
padding-left:...

I did this in the options on the Export Animation. Is this where you meant for me to do it? It doesn't appear to have changed the graphic background to match the web page background yet.

Hi Gary,

Sorry to keep bugging you, but I have done all of the above and it got rid of the white line.

BTW, I prefer to use the entire drawing surface with the background colr, I tried to find...

Thank you, John and Gary.

Although I have licensed Xara since 1999, I obviously don't get to use it much, only when I need a graphic somewhere.

Gary, I understand adding a bigger rectangle...

I created a graphic and when it is viewed on a web page with the same exact color set as the background a thin white line shows around the graphic. How do I get rid of the thin white line around the...
