I agree I do like the high tech look of the dark grey but I am having some trouble reading things.

I agree the new grey colour is gastly, I do hope there will be a choice in
Xara extreme pro 6, otherwise I wont buy it
I find it very difficult to read compared to the colours we are used to
At least they could offer the colour choice as in office 2007/2010

So the new colour scheme seems to be stirring up a bit of a frenzy lol personally as already said I love it makes it noce and modern and more inline with its competitors.

I would not view the colour scheme of the programme as a reason not too buy but hey each to their own Microsoft paint has a nice whit and blur scheme maybe have a look at that

I'm good with the color scheme. It's just in line with similar color schemes as have been adopted by Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop, to name a couple I've seen.

Black text on a charcoal background ... please ...

In my book, that's just terrible.

I had not noticed that, yes I would agree that is a bit mmmmmmm hard on the eyes shall we say

Also the new web features & templates will go into the next Pro but not the classic version of Xtreme

So if I upgrade from XX5 to XX6 I will lose the web design features ?

About not being able to convert to editable shapes....

Wow John,

So the shortcuts from XX work, but the menu option isn't there. (I.e. Arange|Convert to Editable Shapes)

That is interesting....confusing, but interesting.

Not quite so.

The Ctrl+1 is a shortcut of the Arrange / Combine Shapes / Add Shapes.
If you have one object selected, the result of this operation is exactly the same as of the Convert to Editable Shapes.

That's an old trick form the WD5 release times, as WD5 don't have this feature either.

Oh I see. This is basically what I did to create the editable shape, but instead of using one shape, I used two. I created a rounded rectangle and a non-rounded rectangle and added them to create my buttons.

However, I tried what you suggested and it works perfectly. Create a quick shape and with it selected Press Ctrl+1 and it becomes an editable shape. Very nice.

Thanks
