The web animation menu needs a rethinking. It is not intuitive and there needs to be more user control. Plus out options for the various object transitions. e.g. Fade Out, so an object can roll in and fade out.

Okay Rob, I'll keep it to a single issue that drives me crazy. I have a website template 960px NO PAGE SHADOW.
The second I change the page width, up it pops, that unwanted, hated page shadow. Forcing me to open the Utilities / Options / Page Size tab & uncheck the Show Page Shadow or select the page background in the P&L gallery and remove the page shadow. But dare I change the page background width or height by even a tiny-weeny single pixel and the damn shadow thing reappears.

Err, Egg, are you talking about the attached pic? If so, then it may just be you. The shadow option is off by default and no amount of resizing makes it appear unless I tick the box. De-selecting makes it go away, and it stays off.

how true.
Xara crashes only one or twice a year.
but i would like a t kill a process when it takes to long.
no sicknature. for nearly 20 years. omg ...
For many problems there are simple and easy-to-understand solutions that do not work.
In the Selector Toolbar, add a button with which to toggle between the new (blue) selection handles and the old (simple, black) selection handles or integrate it into the 'Show object edit handles' button that, anyway, doesn't do what is says it does. So, latter needs to be fixed.
well since boy has mentioned [Selector Tool]ShowXCBoundsBlobs as well, I may as well put in the other registry toggle that I think should be in the UI:
[Freehand]AutoDeselectFreehand
when sketching, having the lines auto deselect after each stroke means no accidental joining up and/or repathing of the strokes; but when drawing in a slower fashion it is better to have this off andhaving to exit the program to toggle is a real pain
as is having to exit the program to toggle the visualisation disrupting blue boundary lines

It is good to have you Rob look over all this stuff. I feel there is new life in Xara now. My beef is the attached. I sometimes work on large website where I leave it for upload and go away from the computer in hope of it finished when I return but I see this screen. I do understand that the information is good to know but it hinders my workflow. Also if at anytime I close Xara it starts again. I would be so happy if this can be fixed. Attachment 129863
Re the drop shadow:
I believe the cause of my problem is that I was forced into bad habits many years ago due to an issue that existed on my computers at that time. Namely opening the Utilities / Options dialogue window taking several seconds loading, so I’d avoid doing so as much as possible.

I prefer not to have a page shadow. Probably through changing page colour incorrectly applying a page shadow as mentioned by Acorn. To avoid having to wait for Options window to open I’d select the page rectangle in the page layer and remove the drop shadow. Unfortunately this way didn’t remove the Show Page Shadow in the Options window, so as soon as the page was resized the shadow would reappear. There appears to be disconnect between the page rectangle and page size.
Strange how bad habits persist. I attach a xar template file which shows this behaviour. My bad, not Xara’s.
