How to see page borders (in design mode) when page and pasteboard have same color?

Hi jcnassoc,

Have you tried applying a line colour to the page rectangle, then setting this to 0px, this should make it visible in Xara, however will not show when its exported to your site. See attached doc for example.

Why is Zero px different than None Ben?

Hi Egg,

So the way these two settings work is that None, means nothing, no line width. Then 0 is actually the smallest size possible for the output device. So if you set your zoom to 100% and insert two rectangles one set to line width of 0 and one set to line width of 1, they are the exact same, zoom in and the 1px gets zoomed in but the 0 will always be the smallest possible width = 1 pixel. This should be for all outputs, printed, PDF, HTML, and the only reason my solution above works is actually because it's a bug, this should show when published however if no page shadow is present, it doesn't so I like using it as another feature instead of seeing it as a bug :P

Which only goes to show that not all bugs are bad bugs!

May you have the Page Background layer set to non-visible/hide. (yep just happened to me)
