    Question Xara Easter Eggs - Fact or Fiction?

    I saw a rumour that some versions of Xara software may contain 'Easter Eggs'. You know, those nuggets that some developers (Charles? Kate? John? Anyone? Fess up!) and programmers bury in an applications code that deliver a secret message, a quote, a photo of the staff, an entertaining animation or graphic, etc. Does anyone know if this is fact, fiction, truth, half-truth, or just an outright falsehood. If true, can anyone give us a hint on where to look for the Easter Egg(s)?

    Can anyone crack the 'Xarinci Code'? Or tell us if there is even a 'Xarinci Code' to crack?

    Let the hunt begin,
    Harry

    Hi Harry,

    Not an Easter Egg per se, but:

    Open the About dialog. (Help menu > About Xara Xtreme)
    Close the dialog.
    Open the About dialog again.

    Thumbs up Re: Xara Easter Eggs - Fact or Fiction?

    I knew about that one, Bill. I thought I had imagined that the first time I saw it, because when you go back to see it, it's gone (again)!

    For those that don't know what Bill & I are discussing, follow the directions in Bill's post to see it for yourself.

    The question is, "If there's one Easter Egg, are there any others?"
