This was driving me mad!

Is this possible?

I want to build up an image that has several layers each containing one or more blends. The tricky part is that I would like to use a blend from a transparent object to a solid...

Thank you.

I'll look into it. I need to present dynamic data in a pretty format, so this might be a good answer for me (I was planning on mocking something up in XX then getting as close as I...

I wondered where my post had gone!

As I was discussing the technical aspects of creating the site, I wasn't sure where to put it.

Many thanks,

Mermaid.

Hi there,

I've just noticed that there is a tweak for dynamic page content. I've got XX 5.1.0. Is this tweak necessary for me, and can I use the tweak for XWD 5.0.1?

Many thanks,

Hi everyone,

Here's a link to a website I've recently finished creating, mainly using Xtreme. Wonder whether people would like to give me some feedback? I'm afraid it doesn't contain the designed...

Thanks for the help, this is what I'd hoped. I'll check that I have uninstalled it and pass it along.

I suspect that you can only upgrade a copy once, as otherwise you could take an old copy and...

Thanks and double thanks for not shouting ;-) Will check my bookmarks more carefully in future.

Presumably they don't die!

I've got old copies of Xara going back to the first version and wondered whether I can give version 4 to a friend. I guess she wouldn't be able to upgrade it, but...

Hi there,

I've been battling against a couple of bugs, and thought that you might like to hear about them.

1. I've had problems exporting my site many times, as Xara can't write 0.png, as the...

OK: finally found a solution to the problem. I deleted the buttons that weren't behaving properly and copied and pasted in place buttons from pages where they were working as desired.

Voila! One...

Hmmm, this didn't work for me. In my new document I created 2 extra copies of the photo frame, selected the clipped photo from the group and then pressed 'G' to get the bitmap fill tool. I held Ctrl...

Have just found a work around. Put the frame into a separate document, insert the fill and then paste it back into my website document.

Still puzzled as to why the problem happens. Is it a...

Hi,

I hope that someone can help me with this annoying problem that happens in both XWD and XX5.

I've got a photo frame which I've imported from the holiday template. I've made a few changes to...

Here is the offending file.

I had a feeling that this would be the only way to get to the bottom of this...

I might have solved the problem in the meantime (after 4 hours...). I needed to...

I'm sure people have suggested these before, but I might as well add my thoughts...

I've used a placeholder rectangle to embed some PHP into a page with no problems. However, it would be very...

Hi everyone,

I'm creating a small site for a customer, which contains 4 pages. I'm using the Finance template for this, with the colours edited and 2 of the buttons in the top navbar removed and...

I should have searched first! Here's the answer:

Hi there,

I love using Web Designer, but I need to do something a little more complicated than a simple page layout, which is to insert a form. I'm used to creating forms in Dreamweaver, and will...

Thanks for this Salaam - I hadn't considered that someone might have made it that easy! I downloded jardotty from This page and hey presto! All I needed to do was to adjust the tracking to space the...

Thanks everyone,

Ross - I've got some photocopied diagrams with dots and arrows, which I could scan and trace, but I would really like a quick way to generate words that they are familiar with,...

OK, here's one I prepared earlier in best Blue Peter fashion...

Hi all,

I want to create some simple dotted letters for kiddies to trace over in a dot-to-dot fashion. I can create some text and convert to editable shapes, then apply a dot brush, but this gives...

The second to last image (of a girl singing into a microphone) was featured in the October 2005 edition of Advanced Photoshop as a tutorial on using the gradient tool. I've been meaning to have a go...

CSS is good for positioning, but I want to be able to make the box accommodate text etc of an arbitrary length. There will possibly be several boxes of different heights on a page, and I want them to...
