    Default Preview looks nothing like "canvas"

    Hello everybody!

    I'm very new to Web Designer and I'm having trouble with my website... I'm using a template found on Xara's website, and it looks pretty cool when I'm working on it:

    But when I start the website preview everything is stretched out...

    I don't know how to keep everything in the middle of the screen. I dont' want the website to take the whole screen, I'd like to keep it like a centered column... I don't know if I'm being clear!

    Welcome to TalkGraphics.

    The items have an attribute set to 'stretch to full width'.

    To clear, right-click the shape and pick Web Sticky/Stretchy from the context menu or Utilities > Sticky/Stretchy.
    Select Stretchy properties > Don't stretch and click the OK button.
    Preview and republish.

    Right click on the items that stretches... And go to the option Web Sticky/Stretchy (last one) and disable the option.

    Let us know if that didn't fix it for you.

    Oops looks like Acorn beat me to it! Had the post open but didn't respond right away

    Thank you both haha!

    It did solve my problem, nothing is stretching, looks neat!
    But the logo you can see on the upper left corner of the first pic doesn't appear in preview...

    It's a png image, I tried setting it to foreground but it didn't work!

    Sticky trumps foreground I do believe.

    So an item that sticks will always be in front of the item on top.

    Hello again,

    I'm sorry I don't get it... I tried looking for its properties but I can't get it right. It's always disappearing.
    I'm french btw, and my software is also in french so I'm kind of stuggling when I'm looking for "Sticky" options haha!

    Here's the English version. If you have an object properties set to 'Sticky' it will appear above all the other content on the page, regardless of it's position on the Xara page. So set the Sticky properties to 'Stick to top' or better still set to 'Off'.

    Sorry for the very late answer!

    I was away for quite some time, it did the trick thanks a lot! In fact the item was set to sticky and that was the problem

    Thank you all!
