Create four variations of the green light (as shown here) by altering the colors and center each over a gray rectangle. (R=204 B=204 G=204) Individually select each variation group and from the Arrange drop-dwon menu select Create Bitmap Copy, 96 dpi (Window's resolution) Color Depth= 8-Bit (256 colors) Palette=Standard (Web) and Dithering=Error Diffusion, click Create. Repeat this process with versions 2 through 4.

Open the Bitmap Gallery and Click select all four images. Click the Save button. In the next window name your animation and select Animated GIF (*.gif) for Save As. In the next window select 96 dpi, 8-bit color, Standard palette, Diffusion dithering, Restore by Nothing, Delay 5 and click Export.

You’ve just created an animation. Open this file in your browser and it should look just like the one you see here. Note: This only works with Xara 1.2 or 1.5.
