Gold and Chrome Xara Xone Tutorial

Select the vertical line and align the bottom end with the end of the larger ellipse (shown above in purple outline). You may wish to zoom in close to get the best alignment. Drag guidelines to the point where the line and the ellipse come together. Join the ellipse and the line (Arrange > Join Shapes) then repeat the dragging away and back of one of the control points where the 2 paths came together.

Select the Ellipse Tool (Shift F4). Hold down the Ctrl key to constrain the ellipse to a circle, and draw a circle about the size shown above. The circle will be resized later on so the size is not important.

Select the Fill Tool (F5). Click on the bottom of the circle, hold down the Ctrl key, and drag upwards to the top of the circle to create a Linear fill. Double click on the Fill Path arrow to add more colors (3 pairs or 6 new colors).

Add the colors shown above left using the Color Editor and the RGB Color Model. (Ctrl e or click the small color wheel icon to the left of the screen palette).

NOTE: Each pair of the 3 sets of new colors you added onto the fill path should be placed close together to produce the sharp edges as shown above.

TIP: You can select any of the added colors on the fill path and use the up or down arrows on your keyboard to move the colors up or down. Hold down the Alt key to constrain the movement to 1 pixel per click.
