Talk:Xara Designer Pro+

NPOV?

"Xara X is also notable for its intuitive interface and very fast renderer." How is that a Neutral point of view? Claiming the interface is intuitive is entirely subjective and should be backed up. Description was improved to say it was easier for users familiar with Corel Draw to learn, thanks much better. —Horkana 14:36, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Famous Microscope Image

How is this image famous?? If I show the picture to 100 people on the street, I doubt I would get more than 2 who would have any idea what it represents, let alone call it "famous." 71.194.6.238 01:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

The problem is, you don't know this picture as original Xara Xtreme vector graphic. There is something under the Microscope lens, which is only visible, if you zoom into the picture (up to 25.000% - the largest zoom factor of current vector graphics editors). --Remi de 13:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Xara X => Xara Xtreme

Xara X is no longer the official name of this excellent piece of software. —Remi de 12:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 11:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Propose a merge from Xara Xtreme LX to the main article Xara Xtreme

The article Xara Xtreme LX is marked as a stub and it's better to merge the facts into the main article Xara Xtreme. What's your opinion? --Remi de 12:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I've always been confused by this: What exactly is the difference? --Snarius 13:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Xara Xtreme LX is the open source version for Linux of Xara Xtreme. But therefore it isn't necessary to create a own article about Xara Xtreme LX. For the moment there are 3 different versions of Xara Xtreme available: Xara Xtreme (Windows, commercial version with commercial plugins), Xara Xtreme LX (Linux and in the near future also Mac OS X, open source) and Xara Xtreme XS (Windows, a light version of Xara Xtreme). --Remi de 10:37, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

After a quick look, I agree.--Chealer 00:06, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

NPOV

The article currently contains a lot of unsourced glowing statements about Xara. These need to be sourced, and may need to be re-worked as well. For example:

Xara Xtreme is notable for its usability and very fast renderer. Xara Xtreme is also notable for being the first vector graphics software product to provide fully anti-aliased display, advanced gradient fill and transparency tools, now available in many competing products.

Among vector editors, Xara Xtreme is considered to be one of the easiest to learn, especially for those who have had some experience with CorelDRAW. In recent versions, attempts have been made to render the application appealing to web designers by adding tools for popular effects such as drop shadows, bevels, and navigation buttons. Xara Xtreme also includes tools for manipulating bitmaps.

Xara Xtreme, while not as well known as some vector drawing applications, has a rapidly growing and very loyal user base, with active forums and many user-created tutorials. Xara Xtreme is also used in Scottish high schools as part of their Graphic Design course

Most of the quoted paragraphs contain unsourced glowing claims of the product 203.109.240.93 13:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't make this article and I use Inkscape (not Xara), and though it does seem to state relative things "easiest to learn", "fast renderer", have you tried to use the program? Maybe the proof is in the pudding, and it is very easy to learn and very fast. For example, if you could make a comparison that compares this speed to that of other programs, and this is indeed faster (even if the study isn't cited), such statements show how this program is different than others. So, yes. Find sources. And rewording to remove "easiest" (make easy?) and "very fast" to fast.Althepal 04:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Xara Xtreme under Windows

It would be possible to compile XaraXtreme for Linux in Windows? Cedric S. Graebin 16:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
