xpdx9 splash screen

[steve.ledger]

We've been through this before with splash screens.
If it bothers you for the few seconds it shows, then change it..
Create your own 486x300 pixel image, save it as a .bmp and (re)place it here:
\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X9\bitmaps

Cool. Do we need to have a splash screen contest?

[gwpriester]

This will work for now. You have to change the file permissions for the Bitmaps folder to replace the current image.

I hope not..

You have to change the file permissions for the Bitmaps folder to replace the current image.

Yes, this is a Windows restriction for the Program Files folder.

Any chance that you can add a tweak to XaReg2 so that it'll take a PNG?

[steve.ledger]

No, this is not a setting in the registry.
XaReg can only edit the Xara registry settings.

A stick of celery is bright, crisp, and clean, too.

And about as appetizing as the New (Flat) Black.

Unless of course you add a bit of melted cheese to it....and there seems to be plenty of that on this particular thread......:-)

Gary, what inspiration does the RAF give you when working in Designer Pro X9

[Big Frank]

at the heart of everything that xara does is its drawing suite of tools
you cannot create anything in any of xara's products without them
it would have been nice to see some of that functionality represented
i bet some people aren't even aware of that
write some text
convert to editable shapes
draw a freehand blob
blend
add a highlight, an fx or a contour
play with colours
voilà
melted cheese
or in the case of some people
humbug

Pete, I was extending my avatar so the colors seemed appropriate.
