Are the website widths and the suggested variant widths still valid? Phones and devices have evolved since the introduction of websites in Xara, but the width recommendations in Xara (Pro+) have not changed. Any insights are appreciated. Thanks. Dan

Re: Recommended website/variant widths still valid?
Dan, my goto size is 1440px Main and 720px Variant but I also may tweak a Registry setting so the cut across is not 50% to make any font size transition less marked. Xara in its UI for variants does not recalculate the breakpoints, it will still show 50%.Originally Posted by DanFelix
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\HTMLFilte r\10.0\MultiWidthBreakpoint: 50 (default).

Re: Recommended website/variant widths still valid?
Andre, changing the Registry is usually always cavaeted with make sure you back it up forst. If you trash it, you could scupper your Windows set-up altogether. I have never had any such problem, so far.
- Ensure your XDA is not open. Changes will no come into play until it is restarted.
- Open the Registry Editor. It runs in Admin mode so accept the UAC question and click Yes.
- Navigate to Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Xara > HTMLFilter > 10.0 > MultiWidthBreakpoint
- If you have an earlier version, it may be ...> 9.0 >..., back down to 7.0. If you Preview an index.htm file, the HTML Filer is in the <head>.
- Or, press F3 and search on "MultiWidthBreakpoint", without the double quotes. Check in the top edit field you have the right HTML Filter version.
- In the right pane, double-click in the (Default) Name and change the value of 50 to your new breakpoint percentage.
- Click OK and close the Registry.
- Run your XDA. Preview and check where the breakpoint now occurs.
When the value is 50(%), you take the Variant width away from the Main width and use that percentage.
The breakpoint is the Variant width plus this value.
Bp = (Mw - Vw) * (Registry entry) / 100 + Vw.
For (1440, 720, 50) you would get a Bp of 1080px.
For (1440, 720, 37) you would get a Bp of 986px.
For (1024, 480, 50), you have 754px.
For (1024, 480, 65), you have 812px.
