Don’t eat too many daffodils!
No chance. They haven't bloomed here yet.

I don't think one could achieve chords with a complex mallet - ie striking more than one key simultaneously
But one can using two or three separate mallets? It doesn't really matter - ears are not that sensitive. Even chords on a piano do not necessarily have all the keys struck precisely simultaneously, nor could that happen with your idea of stacked keys. (It definitely does not happen on a guitar.) Besides the slight flexibility of the mallets would probably compensate adequately. However, I was not suggesting that seriously, or even at all. It was a question for William.
This guy seemed to manage quite well with only one mallet per hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDGqBJNU6t0 Who needs chords?
I shall not do so now in protest
I rather like threads going slightly off the main topic with a bit of humour. It will never resume with the main subject if people take umbrage and sulk. You must just put up with anything Alfred allows. It's his forum. After all the Cat piano does have much in common with your chord xylophone. Neither exists, and I do not think they would be very useful if they did!
How about answering the on topic question I posed?
Impossible not to think of Rossini
Or this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WZonn4d98M
I am wondering if one could have a chord xylophone, where narrow bars are in groups of three or four and one uses a single wide mallet to strike the three or four bars in the group simultaneously.
A xylophone uses wooden keys. I think it would be extremely difficult to make keys producing the correct note narrow enough to be so closely spaced as to be capable of being struck by a single mallet.
Why not use a three-headed mallet?
you’ll see a different number depending on the ambient lighting conditions and your display brightness and contrast settings
As I suggested above. However my (and Gordon's) settings must be pretty good because the full number was apparent without too much difficulty and without tweaking. The outer figures however did call for close attention.
There are some similar "tests" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnl5Cd38JYU. Yes, I got them too! I suppose my ophthalmologist is doing a good job!
I'm not sure what William was concerned about - but that's just William, I suppose.
Careful what you post, you may be putting personal medical information on the internet.
I think it more likely that you will be showing the limits of your particular screen and/or video card.

William, are you saying you are only now learning the word "quoth"?
What about it?
It's Win 11 that I am interested in not XP
Patrick has said that all Serif legacy applications that worked on Windows 10 seem to function correctly/identically on Windows 11 also. https://community.serif.com/forum/custo … swer385550
I still use XP on an old laptop. Like you, I don't use it for the internet, but I still use a few Qbasic programs that will not work on newer versions on Windows - unless anyone knows how!

(I except the use of a**, which is nonsense to a UK English speaker
Unless they speak with a Bristol accent.
Black cats are considered unlucky in the US. Except for the ginger female that spends half her time at my house currently, all the cats I've had, both here and in England, have been black, although several have had white noses, bibs and/or feet.
An easy mistake!
In the middle of one recent night, I heard my neighbours' cat scratching at my door. She is a very large long-haired ginger softy who spends much of her time in my house. So I leapt out of bed and opened the door. But what started to enter was not the cat, but a possum. The door closed quicker than it was opened!
Serif's decision is no surprise, but a little disappointing none the less. I wonder is Patrick (at least) will join us here.
