I want to fill the WEB page screen with a Patter

**GiddyupGilbert** · 23 June 2018, 01:55 PM

Xara Designer Pro X: I did this one time a long time ago and filled the screen with a pattern, but can't seem to do it now. And I can't seem to figure this out even though I've looked in the manual. Everything appears to be directed to fills of objects. I can't seem to import into the page and utilize the Bitmap Gallery or Fill Gallery. I must be doing something wrong. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks. Well after playing a bit I got it to fill page and pasteboard, but there is white space around the file and I want it to fill the screen period.

In the Fill gallery, select a fill, or an existing image already on your page and right-click and pick Set as pasteboard background.

Unless you plan to use an endless screen of words I think you want to fill the screen with a "pattern". Eh?

That is true Gary, but I've not successfully gotten the graphic file into the Fill Gallery.

It does not have to be in the Fill Gallery.

Import or drag and drop the graphic into Xara. Then it will appear in the Bitmap Gallery. Select the image there and click Background.

GGG, when you have added your image to the Pasteboard, you right-click on the Pasteboard and pick Pasteboard background > Fill browser window.

Including an image as as Fill is a different task.
Put all you new images that are to be Fills in a folder.
Open the Fill gallery and click the Disc fills button and navigate to the folder, not the image and click Add.
Follow the ensuing instructions.
