No worries Jim, it was a friendly hint
Have a look at Adobes Kuler system. Quite neat.
That is very slick. Thanks for the reference. I'm just now watching Adobe's video introduction to Kuler (pronounced "cooler"). It's about seven minutes in length.

Good intro video, except I think she needs to visit a fruit shop and learn about grapes.
Another similar one is COLOURlovers.com Colourlovers will let you download a palette as an image via right click menu. You can copy and past the image into both Web Designer and Xtreme and use the eyedropper from the colour editor to create named colours from your palette image. You can also create single colours and seamless patterns.

Hi guys.
I see a lot of folks are spending a lot of time with Xara's newest creation. It's hard not to, considering how easy it makes this whole procedure. Well done folks. Keep 'em comin'.
I may as well add my small compartment on the interwebs.
This was created entirely in XWD. Nothing was done in XX4. (In case anyone was wondering)

PS: thanks very much angelize for that great link to Colourlovers.com. That's an excellent resource site. And the adobe resource site is also very sweet. Thanks guys.
Nice work Mark. You might consider optimising the background to the website - 350K for a background gradient is pretty big. Maybe you can get good quality from a jpg with a smaller filesize?
Impressed with the work you've done though.

Thanks Pauland.
Yeah, i DID optimize that image actually. It WAS 435kb before i used the "PNG Out" plugin in IrfanView. And unfortunately, saving as a Jpg creates a banding effect with that particular combination of fore/background colours for the grad. Using a radial gradient is the problem.
I decided to just bite it on the bg image after all, because i felt the look it created was needed for the design.
BUT... i do have new FF plug-in for a site that will try to optimize your site's graphics for you (Smush.it), then let you download from them their final resulting image(s). I'll try giving that a go and see if i can shave anymore size off.
:::EDIT:::
OOO! Hey i just thought of another way to create that bg effect! I can use a solid coloured blue 'base' background, and place a transparent Png white 'glow' spot over it in XWD; on a new layer. XWD will save out each as separate files. And THAT, will solve the size issue. Sweeeet!
Thanks for inspiring me to rethink this issue Pauland!
