I wanted to try and make an XV puzzle without using any Vs or a negative constraint, and this is what I came up with.
Have fun!
RulesNormal sudoku rules apply.
Cells separated by an X must contain digits summing to 10. Not all Xs are shown.
Black dots connect cells with a ratio of 2:1, and white dots connect cells with a difference of 1. Not all dots are shown.
Solve the puzzle at f-puzzles or CTC
Solution code: Row 5, Row 6

Brilliant and satisfying puzzle. I solved it once after doing a bit of colouring and making a lucky guess - but then did it again, this time properly, by fully colouring x dominoes and then making use of the kropki dots to discover which colour contained a 28 domino.

Incredible! How this doesn't have a 100% rating is beyond my comprehension.

Very nice! And not particularly hard (at least not if you have the right idea from the start).

Very clever, perhaps a bit lucky that my approach worked.

An extremely clever puzzle as expected from FryTheGuy! Very nice logic from the beginning to the end. Great idea and great execution!
