XaReg: another Xara X(treme) Registry tool.

**Soquili** · 26 August 2008, 12:37 AM

XaReg is a program for making Registry tweaks to Xara X, X¹, Xtreme, and Xtreme Pro.

XaReg searches your registry for installed versions of Xara's vector graphics programs and presents a set of registry entries you can modify.

Please see the two screen captures that are attached. One from a system running Windows XP and one from a system running Windows Vista.

Download the attached XaReg.zip file and extract the executable (XaReg.exe) to a folder on your harddrive. Double click the program's icon to run the application.

I would like to thank Steve Ledger (Sledger) for designing the User Interface. The UI is the most important feature of any application and I'm sure you will agree Steve has made the program very easy to use.

EDIT: Download the newest version from the XaraXone.

Bill,

I think I will have to wait for the next release. The attached is all I see...

PS... As pointed out I will need .net framework which I do not use. So I will have to hack the registry myself (which is fine). Thanks anyway guys.

I run this app successfully (XP sp3). But there are more interesting things in the registry than I found in this app... My dream is to find a complete description for all registry entries and values regarding Xtreme and a small app to adjust them, or ability to change them directly from Xtreme ))

John please update your machine with the latest .net framework runtimes.

My dream is to find a complete description for all registry entries

Alex the user tweakable tweaks with descriptions are listed for viewing and printing under 'Help>>List of Tweaks'

thanks Bill and Steve - a good utility for those who do not like wading in the registry in their own wellies

it runs fine under my windows XP home with SP3 and .NET 2

like Alex I would like to see this sort of thing expanded much more, but since I am not likely to get round to it myself any time soon, I am very grateful to those who do

How are the changes implemented?
I cannot see an "Enter" button, or such, on the shown images, only an "Exit" button.
Thanks
Harry

Hi Harry,

The settings are changed without the need for a traditional 'Apply' button.
Xtreme should be closed before your start XaReg.
Simply make your adjustments/selections/deselections then re open Xtreme after you exit XaReg.

Thanks sledger.
I did that before posting but the changes did not take effect.
I must have something in my system that it preventing the registry changes from taking efect.
I'll have to investigate further.
