Besides being a good read I would like you to have a look at the following page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/...9-83e619460e1f . What struck me was the use of graphics alternating with the text making it a pleasant way to read and consume the information. A similar effect can bee seen at https://appear.in/. Tha graphics change once the text scrolls off screen.

Try as I might I can't find a way to do something similar in Xara. Or does anyone else have a clou how to achieve this with Xara Designer?

While investigating I learned a lot about page transitions and backgrounds and the way Xara is handling these things. The help offered by Xara isn't very , er, helpful and I'd love to have a more transparent way to work with page backgrounds. There's realy something to be desired in that field.
