True Egg, beats even a bent croupier.

So what is this soft croup about. Search engine seems to know I'm from germany and doesn't tell me anything.
Egg, I also used V17. Re-created it again without "convert to editable shapes", but without named colour.

croup [in english] is a nasty viral infection that mostly affects children, scientific name laryngotracheobronchitis

Hi Siran, I agree it would be great to keep all objects as Text rather than Editable Shapes for editing reasons.
My problem with your approach is the following:

Line Width 6px=4.5pt, Fill none. Line colour Blue (shift click or using colour editor)

This is the step I'm having issues with. I have Xara setup to the disliked right click on a colour bar to open the menu options. I much prefer the original Right Click to set the stroke/line colour but this now causes other issues. So why doesn't the new right-click menu include Set Line/Stoke colour? I know it's not of use on Websites but is very valid on a Graphics page.

Egg, there's always Shift+Left Click on the Colour Bar to change the Line colour.

Agreed Acorn as is there the option to do so in the colour gallery, but why is it hidden on the right click menu???

Well when I asked Xara about such things before, I was told it would make the context menus too cluttered (the specific Q was about Soft-Group to be included in the shapes collection context menu).

Nana Xara knows best.
