644 Customizing Designer Pro

The other options let you select which of the four color models (RGB, CMYK, HSV,
grayscale) to always use by default.
RIGHT CLICK ON COLOR: This option is to turn off the color-line right-click menu (on page
190) and make right click set the line color, as in earlier versions of Xara Designer Pro X.
DELETE UNUSED COLORS WHEN SAVING AND LOADING: When this option is selected, any
unused named colors in your document will be deleted when you save/load. This
prevents your Color Line becoming cluttered with named colors which are not used in the
design. This is particularly useful when loading older designs, because earlier versions of
Xara Designer Pro X used to create named colors implicitly. So many older designs
contain numerous unused named colors. Load them with this option turned off and it’s
hard to identify the important used named colors on the COLOR LINE from the unused
ones.

Make groups be transparent as a whole.

See Transparency for more on transparencies.

When applying transparency to a group of objects, by default Designer Pro will apply the
transparency to the group as if it were one object (i.e. you will not see individual
transparencies within the group). Unselecting this option will make Designer Pro add
transparency to each object in the group separately.

Control bars

You can move Designer Pro's control bars to different places around the window, re-
order the buttons, create new control bars, move or copy buttons between control bars
and many other operations.

You cannot change the tool-dependent InfoBar or the contents of the fly-out bars which
are on the main toolbar and top bars.

Full screen mode
Designer Pro has two configurations of control bars:

• One configuration appears when the window is its normal size.
• The second configuration appears after you choose "WINDOW" > "FULL SCREEN".
Any changes to one configuration of control bars (for example, resizing or moving) have
no effect on the other configuration. Changes to individual buttons (for example, setting
an option) apply in both normal and full screen modes.
