Click on both ends, one end at a time, and change the color by pressing on any of the colored squares on the screen palette. You have to do this with the Fill Tool.

Select the center color and change that color as well.

Now create a bitmap copy (Arrange menu).

Hello again, I do as suggested above but just get one colour right through the rectangle, either full black or gradient but not as the video shows? I'm getting ready to give up on this sadly

Thank you anyway

Graham -

This is not that hard. Really.

Look at the attached XAR document and see if you can recreate the steps. If you are still having problems, e-mail me gary@gwpriester.com and add Xara Background image for the subject. Holding down the Ctrl key when you drag the Fill Tool upwards just constrains the direction to vertical.

Please don't give up. We'll get through this. Honest.

I find it difficult to select the ends of the gradient fill line so I use the TAB key instead. Just press tab and it selects one end. Pressing TAB again selects the other end
