Using Templates, Clipart & Widgets
Open the Designs Gallery by clicking the Designs Gallery tab in the
Galleries bar (or use "File" > "New from Designs Gallery
").
This shows folders containing collections of website designs and associated graphic files that each follow
a specific theme. There are also folders of widgets, like forms, e-commerce facilities, web gadgets, and
many other features. Browse through the folders and double click to open any file as a new document.
Each theme section has a collection of alternative page layouts and some other useful page elements such
as buttons or expanding text panels. Each theme generally also contains a complete website template and
several 'color schemes'. You can change your entire site to a different color scheme by just dragging and
dropping the scheme from the gallery onto your page, or by just double-clicking on it.
Some of the folders in the gallery (most notably the widget folders) are downloaded automatically from
Xara's servers when you are online and you open the gallery. Therefore the selection of folders and the
items available in the folders will change periodically. Check back regularly to see the latest updates.
Adding New Pages To Your Website
You can drag any template design from the Designs Gallery
onto your page. If this is a page template, it will add a new page to your website, after first asking if you
want to match any color changes. If you drag a clipart item such as a button, heading or photo object,
this gets added onto the page where you dropped it, and again you will be asked if you want to match
any color changes you've made.
In addition to themed web page sections, the Designs Gallery
also has folders containing additional button designs, banners, headings, photo objects and more. Just
drag the required design from the gallery onto your page. You will be asked whether you want the
graphic to match the colors of your website or not. If you choose not to you can still edit the colors of the
imported graphic - see below.
Your imported graphic is just another object on the page, and can be re-positioned, resized and rotated
using the Selector Tool
as usual.
To add a new page of the same design, the easiest way is to right click
the page and choose Duplicate current page or use the Duplicate
current page
button on the standard toolbar.
This replicates the current page below. You can then just delete or edit the elements as required. This has
the advantage of keeping the same navigation structure.
Or you can copy and paste an existing page in the same or another document. Right-click an empty part
of a page and choose Copy Page. In the destination document right-click a page and choose Paste >
Page
(or press "Ctrl + V").
The page on the clipboard is added as a new page immediately following the current page. The pasted
page adopts the page size of the document it's pasted into (as long as the All pages in document the
same checkbox is enabled in File > Page Options
). Page layers and attributes and all the objects on the page are also pasted.
You can add a new blank page by right clicking and choosing New
