@Rik,

Could you please explain what you mean by "user name." As Acorn indicated, this would be the Licensee. On my laptop, it's Admin, on my desktop, it's John. The only place I've seen this indicated is under Help, About. Where else does it show up?

As for the photo tool, I was also one who complained about the loss of the squishy squashy handles. Xara put it back and it's easy to find, but the default is what you see now, cropping on the top and sides , rounding the corners using the upper left handle, rotating with the upper right handle, resizing using the lower right. What I have found is that I almost never use the squishy squashy handles, but I almost always use the crop and resize handles. So for me, the new default handle method is ideal.
