I'm a Xara novice and completely new to this forum. I'm using DP X365. I want to apply metallic effects, including chrome but also a glass effect, to objects. I contacted Xara who confirmed that there is not a pre-loaded plugin to do this. However, I was advised to Google 'metal effect plugin' as there were plenty available. However, doing that and also looking on this forum, it seems that there aren't so many around. The main one seems to be Filter Forge and I learn that it isn't compatible with Xara and given the years of people talking about it, it never will be. I don't want to ty to achieve these effects mucking about with complicated gradient fills and I don't want to experiment with Filter Forge settings to try to rig a workaround. Can anyone please help me to locate a plugin which will do this simply within a Xara environment?
