Talk:Xara Designer Pro+

message: In the meanwhile there is version 19 so this version overview is pretty outdated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1C02:324:8D00:28C4:C4E1:A80A:1231 (talk) 14:10, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

message: "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)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

thread_title:  Xara X => Xara Xtreme 

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

text: After a quick look, I agree.--Chealer 00:06, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've restored this because it's a different version, distinct by being open source. The project (, , ) currently looks inactive. But in that case it still deserves an article IMO, as a historical record. -- Trevj (talk) 06:48, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

message: It would be possible to compile XaraXtreme for Linux in Windows? Cedric S. Graebin 16:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the Windows versions use another code base. But I think, it should not really a big problem to pay 79 bucks for the comercial Windows version... --Remi de 19:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And it should be less of a problem to download something just like Xara for free: Inkscape, Sodipodi, Synfig. Althepal 06:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Althepal is right. But if you like to use Xara Xtreme under Windows, there is only the commercial version available. It depends on your needs and I would recommend to do a test with all these vector editors (there is also a free trial version of Xara Xtreme available under Windows). I know (and use) Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape and other (bitmap) graphic editors, but personally I prefer Xara Xtreme. --Remi de 20:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hold on a second, Remi de. What do you mean by "other (bitmap) graphic editors"? Xara's image editor is very nice, but it is nothing compared to Photoshop, GIMP, Helicon Filter, and the like, and it isn't the main part of Xara Xtreme. So what do you mean? Althepal 06:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I say: I know (and use) three vector graphic editors and also some other bitmap graphic editors, but I prefer Xara Xtreme. What's your problem with my statement? --Remi de 13:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was just confused. I thought you were saying that Xara Xtreme was a bitmap editor, which it isn't. Althepal 17:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: $79 isn't exactly a lot to pay, although with Cygwin you could compile an app.. Or even a native without it?  Give it a try.. --172.200.35.121 21:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
