    OK, I think we have the beginnings of a poll here which the guys at Xara should take note of for the next upgrade. The consensus in the thread was that Xartists don't like the way the following cannot be changed from the default:

    1. Times New Roman as the starting font
    2. Black as the default fill
    3. Fill and Outline on by default

    So the poll is:
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
    Avoiding Manual Labour.

    OK, Xara, the fat lady hasn't sung yet, and there are precious few votes, but it looks pretty clear that, of those "owners who expressed an opinion" we have a clear wish list here!

    9 out of 10 owners said their XaraXs needed more control over default settings!

    Hope to get some more votes on this subject...

    Xartists - yes, all my own work. Well it helps to distibguish us from people who specilise in other vector apps like CorelDraw and Illustrator.

    Xaratists

    Great word, Frank! Did you come up with that one yourself?

    These are longstanding requests and I can only assume that they are too deeply embedded to be easily implemented.

    Think plain 'Xartists' is fine:

    'Xaratists' is really just the same thing with a strong Scottish accent [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img], and 'XaraXtists' sounds just a wee bit frightening! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

    Oh yes, and I've voted too...

    Why not "XartiXts", or "XrtXts", or "Xrtsts" ???

    Kind regards,

    Tzar, Tsar, Czar, Csar?

    Tchaikovsky or Chaykovsky?

    Golly, I dunno, and I'm a quarter Russian and a musician to boot!

    (Another silly post from Pete...)
