    xdp6 Navbar 'menu style' background: fills & transparency

    Hi there,

    I haven't been able to find a thread for these questions yet so my apologies if they've been answered already.

    1. Is it possible to add custom fills (even basic 2-colour linear fills) in the Navbar 'menu style' options?

    2. Is it possible to make the 'menu style' background partially transparent without affecting the text?

    I'm using Designer Pro 6 and it would be great if someone could tell me either yes or no on this.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    No. There's your answer

    There is an alternative, but it requires more work. Create your own buttons.

    Here are a few tutorials http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest80/index.htm, http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/wo...workbook_2.htm

    Perfect, thanks very much for the quick answer and for the welcome

    Since the menu style options seemed quite close already I thought there could be a nice little time saver tucked away.

    I've had a quick peak at the links and they look spot on so thanks again.

    I am hoping that in the next release the sub-menus will be more flexible. But I am not holding my breath. My suggestions about this to Xara were met with a general lack of enthusiasm.

    But the great strength of Xara is the ability to create some really cool effects and then translate them to the web, such as semi-transparent menus that actually show the content under them. Just takes a bit of time.

    I've been using Xara software for a couple of years now and with the amount of time (and money) it's already saved me I can learn to live with this one for a bit

    Thanks again for your help, I need to have a better look at XaraXone I think.
