    @MB365, Matt I note that the Selector Bounding Box now hugs the object outline down to around 20%.
    This is far better - thank you.

    Still a FAIL on the Mould Control ends disappearing and the inability to Tab round the controls or do any of the actions that would make this better.

    Here is the link I found https://www.xara.com/us/designer-pro/whats-new/
    It states WHAT'S NEW IN DESIGNER PRO
    Latest Updates: Designer Pro+ July 2022: Designer Pro X March 2022. You can find a summary of our latest updates below, with more details in our Release Notes.
    You'll automatically receive all the latest Designer Pro+ updates if you have an active Pro+ subscription purchased direct from Xara.
    If you own Designer Pro X you can download the latest updates if you have an active Update Service purchased from our retail partner Magix. I have Designer Prox not plus with active active Update Service, where do I download this? Is it just the trial download?

    Also, on this link: https://www.xara.com/us/designer-pro/buy/ , it looks like I would have to get a credit from sales, then subscribe to the desktop product. Still seems like a subscription to me. More info is appreciated!

    My problem with new user interface is that the contrast is very low making it very difficult to see, dark grey on black is impossible to see.
    With rectangle coordinates I have to look very closely at as a number 1 is barely readable.
    I could not see why it had to change.

    My problem with new user interface is that the contrast is very low making it very difficult to see, dark grey on black is impossible to see.
    Having worked for many hours with the new interface on a 4K monitor since the release I think that on many monitors the value differences are going to be really difficult to distinguish. I have used a Xara product since 1996 so I am familiar with the interface and know where everything is. But I feel that new users are going to have a hard time. The icons/buttons are smaller, at least on my monitor, than the previous version and the lack of color makes it harder to determine one from the other.

    on my monitor, which is calibrated, the contrast is about the same as affinity and harmony ...

    Not a great lover of this new interface, I find it very bland. In fact I'd prefer Xara stop messing about on the UI and develop better vector apps but that's a cry we've been hearing for years.
