Gold and Chrome Xara Xone Tutorial

Select the 2 24pt lines and from the Arrange menu, select Convert Line to Shape. Select the 2 new shapes and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Add Shapes . (I have applied a red fill and a black outline to demonstrate that the shape is now indeed one shape and no longer a line. There is no need for you to add an outline or change the fill color). Set this shape aside for the moment. We'll need it a bit later on.

 

Gold and Chrome Xara Xone Tutorial

The fill stripes for the small circle we added to the end of the a-shape does not quite line up with the rest of the shape. You can either click twice to enable rotate/skew mode and manually rotate the shape until it lines up or enter 7 in the Angle of Selection text entry box and press Enter to rotate the circle. Either way, a small amount of rotation is helpful.

The gold and chrome effect looks pretty good. Except for the spacing which produces the zig zag jagged lines between the colors. We can fix that. Here's how.

Select the @ shape and from the Arrange menu, select Create Bitmap Copy... Use the True Color Color Depth option (not the True Color + Alpha option) and in the Bitmap Size tabbed section of the Create Bitmap Options dialog, change the Resolution to 300dpi. Press Create.
