    However, don't forget that when Windows explorer shows icons, the icon is for the application registered to use that extension, not each independent version. So generally every .XAR or .WEB file will show the Purple V16 icon. That's the only one I remember being purple.
    It is not the file association icons I am concerned about; I understand that a file extension can only be associated to one application. No, it is the application icon itself. Currently, all three as the same icon. I have assumed that the icons are embedded in the executable and can not be altered by use.

    Fix the bug that turns Text Lines into groups of individual characters. Seems to happen when the Text Line is grouped with a shape like a box, for example. Doesn't happen immediately. But after opening and closing the same document many times, building the project, it eventually occurs, and has been doing since I started using Xara over a year ago. Extremely disappointing.

    Jim, just opened and closed a file as you describe 10 times with no perverse happenings.

    Dear Xara...

    Xara HTML filter
    • Render Tables as HTML Tables with metadata for screen readers.
    • Render Bullets as HTML <UL> Lists.
    • Render Text as <DIV>, handling all Justification correctly.
    • Implement Names on text blocks properly and not into a blank <SPAN>.
    • Handle SVGs in the same manner as JPEGs and PNGs.

    A way to apply some fancy CSS gradients like those shown on GradientMagic website. Angular, striped, burst etc. Would be much lighter than using a png image gradient for example on large background.

    xtom, here is how I use GradientMagic linear gradients.

    I add to the Website/Page HTML code (body), the following:
    Code:
    <style>html {
      height: 100vh;
      background-color: red; /* For browsers that do not support gradients */
      background-image:
    Immediately after the GradientMagic CSS, followed with a semicolon before " /* Standard syntax (must be last) */".
    And finally,
    Code:
    }
    </style>
    You need to ensure you have a Page Background else the gradient is applied over the full page.

    Example: CSS3-GradientMagic.xar.

    Agreed. Good call.

    Looks good acorn. That's another thing that reminds me and maybe already mentioned: update the default browser preview so it shows more up to date techniques like this.

    GradientMagic looks great! Thanks for the code Acorn.
    A lot of them don't tile nicely if your page needs scrollbars. With one more line of code in the <head> you can stop the gradients from scrolling
