I recall that's how it looks when no projects have been started.

Okay but I CAN'T create anything new. Everything is greyed out except Start and Designs. I have NEVER had to create a Project as my first step. I just went to insert a menu, button, whatever.Originally Posted by jamesmc
According to Xara's help files...
"The ability to easily create professional-looking designs is now at your finger tips. The process takes just 4 easy steps:
1) Select a design type
When starting Webstyle you are presented with a circular menu of different web graphic options. Just click on the type of design that you wish to create"
So I should be able to just go select like a menu or button to start. I can't even do that. I can choose a menu for instance...but no matter which design I choose, everything remains greyed out. Should I just reinstall?
You might reinstall, but if it were me I would sleep on it and look at with fresh eyes tomorrow.
There is only so much keyboard pounding that a forehead can take. heh heh.
I'll be back tomorrow, must shower and read the newspaper.
Well...I didn't feel like waiting so I fixed it. Long story but the bottom line...I had read somewhere to copy over the WSTemplates folder from the old PC. THIS was the problem. Something I was copying in was trashing default settings. So after reinstalling the 2nd time, I ONLY copied the Default (Project) folder in. And VOILA! Was able to use it no problems.
I hadn't paid attention to the whole Project thing unfortunately. So now...I have 3 different websites with files in Default Project. Can I just create Project folders for them and copy the needed files from Default over? Then...I guess figure out how to edit it in the specific site?
Anyway...thanks a million for both of your help.
That's great Paul8AGrape!
I had to head off to bed, but I'm glad it worked out for you.
I think you should be able to create project folders and sort your projects into them. I think you'll have to change the paths in the XWS files I mentioned though. I had a project just the other day that I moved into another folder. I had to make the change otherwise it errored when I tried to open it in Webstyle.
Okay so I'm having a similar problem still. I am able to get all my Xara projects working but I had a "Default (Project)" folder that everything had been getting dumped into, and now I'm seperating it. I've tried creating a new project folder, copying the files I need into it, then renaming it in the HTML code. So instead of "<!--webbot CLIENTSIDE bot="Ws4FpEx" MODULEID="'Default (Project)\Bio_off.xws'", I rename it to the new project <!--webbot CLIENTSIDE bot="Ws4FpEx" MODULEID="'NewWeb (Project)\Bio_off.xws'Originally Posted by RedWombat
Where else are you talking about making changes? If I do the above, it is still pointing towards "Default (Project)..." when I go to save again.
