anyone remember the fuss there was when that was changed from spacebar [so latter could be used for push a la adobe et al]
any chance we could get rid of double click switches tool [as an option of course]....

Another small request.
Instead of the either/or situation of the Options dialog for setting color units to 0–255 or percentage, how about the Color Editor simply using 0–255 for the RGB color models and percentage for the CMYK sliders?
It's a pita as it is now with the either/or Options control.

makes sense, but useful to keep both for hsv

But...it's always one or the other for HSV. The only means of keeping CMYK after using the HSV color model on an object is to revisit the CMYK sliders, alter one value slightly, and then put it back where it was.
Try it. Set an object to a CMYK color using the CMYK sliders. Export to PDF and use the Native color model for the output. Check in Acrobat using the Output Preview panel. Switch to CMYK in the "Show" drop down. It should still display that object. Back to your Xara application, pull up the Color Editor (if not still on-screen) and switch to HSV. Alter the color slightly. Use the same export process and you will see that if one uses the Show: CMYK, your object is now not displaying.
HSV will always export as RGB if using the Native option in the PDF output because it is, be definition, an RGB model.
ok I see what you are saying there for CMYK and agree it sounds like it is a pain
what I was responding to was:as long as that does not mean losing the ability enter and work with % values in HSV I have no issuesimply using 0–255 for the RGB color models

I *think* that behind the scenes, all the RGB models, of which HSV is, they are all 0–255. As long as Xara doesn't change any of the input methods (i.e., the present input screens in the Color Editor) then nothing else should change...excepting the CMYK input values.
Programatically, it's not a difficult thing to do if someone chooses CMYK from the drop down to simply change the user unit to 0–100 as if it were done in the Options. And then back to 0–255 when the color model changes to any of the others.
