    Default Automatic movement and resizing of objects and text area as browser is resized

    Some time ago someone (not me) posted this website they designed with wordpress https://ssfworktops.co.uk/. The four product graphics and text automatically move and resize automatically. Is there a way to do this in Xara Designer Pro? I've used variants and you can tell when it changes to a new variant, but the movement in between must be done another way. Thanks!

    No, Xara's Variants offer a responsive solution; what you offered is adaptive.

    You can make Variants with Scale to Fit width, wetting the breakpoints, to make the transitions a little more subtle.

    Adaptive is a possible future offering but Xara needs to handle text block better before that would be effective.

    Thank you Acorn. That makes perfect sense. I try to make just two web variants, one for the phone and one for the desktop. The website I was working with is www.jerrys-furniture.com. (I don't do this professionally) you can see my website at www.sclerodermajourney.com. I finally got their logo changed to a vector graphic (had to manually trace it, bitmap trace wouldn't work - I had to scan it off a business card to get it.), and now I set the publish option to automatically go widescreen. Yes, everything enlarges, but I think it is still acceptable. Most people use their phone anyway, and they have a lot of older customers that prefer everything larger if they are using a large screen. I have been following your posts with siren and egg-brahm egg? on making the widgets fullscreen, and widescreen slideshows. You are all quite amazing. I understand the implementation and have tried them on practice situations, but haven't actually utilized them. Thanks!
