Hi,

(My english is very very bad. i`m sorry for my mistakes. ๐Ÿ˜€)

I would like to describe here a suggestion. I`m using Affinity Designer and I`m boughtย Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 15 in Humble Bundle. Xara Photo & Graphic Designer is very good software for editing graphics but has bad interface (gui), it looks like the '90s. Icons are anemic in colour. Does the latest version have a better interface? Or do you plan to change it?

Welcome to the Magix forums, (and please don't apologise for your English, your writing is very understandable!)

However, you need to understand that these are user-to-user forums, not a link to Magix or Magix Support. Hopefully another user will be able to answer your question about the interface in the latest version of Xara Photo and Graphic Designer. As to whether Magix developers have any plans to change it, no-one here will be able to tell you, sorry, because we simply don't know.

You might wish to use the Contact button in the footer of every forum page to ask your question direct to Magix staff, though I have no idea whether you will receive any answer.

I see you mention Affinity Designer; I actually own the whole Affinity Suite and am very impressed by all the products, being also a long-term user of the previous generation of Serif products.

There is a dedicated Xara user forum:

https://www.talkgraphics.com/index.php

You should join there.

This is the first time I recall that anyone has commented on the layout. I don't think that you will get much sympathy on the TalkGraphics forum.

I don't find the icons anemic at all. Post a screen shot of your interface on the TG forum. There may be a problem with your setup.

Did you do an update under Help, Check for updates?
