RGB data shows as percent

[olledahl]

I am running Xara Designer Pro X and there is a problem with my RGB-module.

The problem is that I need to have a color with the data R 241 G 145 B 27 (kind of orange).
But, when I enter the data the color module converts it to percent (%) and the color is definitely not orange.

How do I make Xara RGB-color module understand that I don't want to use percent?

Anyone that knows?

Go to 'Options' and on the 'Units' tab, change 'Colour Units' from Percent to 0 - 255.
Done!

Hi RIk - I have answered this in the other thread:

just to say that it's important also to change the default from HSV to RGB [in case this is not clear ]

Hi Steve.
That's great!

I don't often go to the web forums.
So, I saw the post here and answered it.

Well. The OP should be quite clear on how to do this, then?!

I would think so

In the past, I've wished there was a preference check box for RGB to automatically be 0-256 when selected.

I don't think that Xara, or anyone else, can make one that goes to 256?!

Joking aside, I've always wished that the settings I set in Options would remain that way, but the preferred method seems to be to set up a template and use that.

You could always post your suggestion in the Dear Xara forum.

its been done Rik - but only if the 'count' starts from 1 and not 0, which is not common these days
