We are going to create a new highlight for the glass top that reflects the clouds in the sky. There should be two white highlights. Delete one. With the white highlight selected, open the Bitmap Gallery (F11), select the Sky image and press Fill. Switch to the Fill Tool and adjust the size of the fill to fit the highlight shape. Set the transparency to none.

From the Utilities menu, select Xara Picture Editor (Xara X1 and later). Press Ctrl e to open the Enhance dialog. Move the Contrast slider all the way to the right to 50. In the Color Saturation text entry box (bottom left) , enter -100 and press Enter to apply the change. This creates a grayscale image with a high degree of contrast between the sky and the cloud shapes.

NOTE: When you apply a bitmap as a fill, the Xara Picture Editor option is not available when you right click on the object. But you can select Xara Picture Editor from the Utilities menu.

Click the Transparency Tool on the new highlight to select it. Hold down the Ctrl key, click at the top of the shape, and drag downwards a little beyond the end of the highlight shape. Change the Transparency slider setting for the end transparency amount to 80%. Select Bleach from the Transparency Type drop down list on the Infobar.
