Backshader

Create and place Rules easily

Backshader is an XTension for QuarkXPress which simplifies the creation and positioning of the Rules Above and Below paragraphs feature. Using Backshader, designers can achieve dynamic effects with this little used feature in QuarkXPress. Accessed via the Utilities menu, Backshader has an easy-to-use interface allowing quick and accurate placement of rules. The modifications specified using Backshader can be seen immediately; the positioning of a rule becomes an intuitive process. And all the characteristics of the rules created by BackShader for a paragraph can be saved as a Style Sheet specification and easily applied to other paragraphs.
