    Lightbulb Friezes

    Here are the designs for a number of friezes, all based on a 1x1cm square. I have used a line width of 0px so the squares can be seen in design mode.

    If you examine the friezes, you will see, I have:
    • Used Names specially labelled as filename="" to ensure Xara creates the fewest bitmaps possible.
    • Included Named Colours, so you can alter for your needs.
    • Soft-grouped patterns to show how you can achieve friezes at any scale (not vectors, just HTML DIV tags).

    A few more ideas for me to create designs of my own, I thank you very much and appreciate it very much that you would share your work with us the community. And credit would be given to you.

    Thanks Acorn, very interesting approach using names to reduce the number of .png files.
