I've just upgraded from Xara Xtreme 5 to Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 and have noticed many less web themes included than in Xara Xtreme. I have downloaded & installed the extra content, so unless there are more web themes installed when I install the CD when it arrives, it appears to me that Xara have reduced the web theme library options to encourage you to buy the Web Designer 6 package. I own this anyway, but this is a tip for folk who want to use the old themes without buying Web Designer 6 which they may not need. Also you may wish to work with the extra drawing features of Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 using the old themes from Xara Xtreme.
Start up Xara Xtreme 5, open up a web library, double click 1 object at a time to create one page only, save the Xara file to a folder on the desktop, then close the page & double click the next object in the library. Keep going until you have a folder on your desktop containing all the objects in the theme. You can then start up Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 & drag & drop objects from your folder into the program. I apologise for the simplicity of the tip, but it hadn't occured to me straight away!
Also a question, you can change the skin of Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 to the white skin by pressing Shift + Ctrl + Alt + S, although this works, the info bar at the bottom becomes black text on dark grey, how can I correct this as I like the white skin?
