Back to the ribbon banners for a while until they are finished.

I've managed to sort out a kind of symbol jigsaw set that you can use to make variations of multi-fold title banners. It's not perfect, and it can be a bit tricky to work out which bit to put where, but at least it snaps together pretty seamlessly.

I've procrastinated the final decision. I took the mouse apart and cleaned out all the fluff (well, it is 12 years old and been through hell with me). It's more or less ok now so I've got more time than I thought I had.

@Quenten This mouse is an ordinary mouse with a USB cable to the PC. I prefer them to wireless because they're greener.

I think the scroll wheel connections are worn out, which is why its sending ghost messages to the PC. I know its the mouse because it stops happening when I unplug it.

This is different and separate to the issue I had when the cursor wouldn't obey the mouse at all and became wildly erratic. That time I discovered I had left my pen lying on my tablet so the the two devices were competing for control of the cursor :P

The fault appears to be more frequent if I'm not actually using the mouse. For instance when I'm using my tablet to draw things with. So for now I just unplug the mouse when I'm drawing, and plug it back in when I'm not.

If the good old days it was possible to do everything using the tab key. It doesn't seem to work that way anymore. Forms are the worst. But don't worry. I will order the new one tonight, and if the worst comes to the worst I can use the tablet. It's better than tab, though not much ;)

It's not generally done, but easy enough.

Add a CLOUD sheet above all but the TEXT sheets, and add a largish blur effect to it. Then either add circles of pale colours (not all white), and/or use the freehand drawing tool with a line width set above zero to scrawl on that sheet in similar off-white colours.

Here is the smoke from a chimney stack done using scribbles and a blur.

Beautiful work, Ralf :)
