Distoted colours in HTML documents
For sometime now NetSurf has been exhibiting colour distortion. At least, I don't know what else to call it. In pictures, contained in html files for example, reds appear blue, as do peoples faces, Pale blue appears yellow while dark blue appears brown. And so on... I don't know what causes this problem or what to do to correct it. Can anybody help please? I'm using NetSurf v3.11 (Dev CI#5327), but I get the same effect when using v3.10 The machine - a Titanium running RISC OS 5.28(19-Oct-20). I would very much appreciate some help here please.

For example, did this start when you switched to a new version of netsurf, or a new version of your OS, or new graphics hardware, or any such? I once saw something very similar with an X program on Linux: all colours came out with the red and blue primaries switched. In that case it was a bug in the program - it was assuming that the primaries were presented in a particular order, rather than paying attention to the information X provides about how they are actually arranged. (I assume some developer mistook "my system does it this way" for "this is how it always works".) You say RISC OS. I don't know what that uses for graphics interfacing, but it is not a great stretch for me to imagine something similar happening there: a new graphics device, a new version of some software layer, something of the sort. I could also imagine it being a bug in netsurf itself, probably one like the one I sketched above, assuming something is always a particular when when it actually isn't. Without more information (most of which I'm not competent to evaluate, since I don't know RISC OS and I don't really know much about NetSurf), it's hard to do more than speculate. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

Has it worked normally previously on the Titanium? Remember - some of the later RISC OS hardware had the R and B channels swapped and there is a new RISC OS 5 spriteword format. It does sound like the RGB versus BGR problem. As far as I am aware NetSurf copes with the colour swap. -- Chris Johnson Edinburgh ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

At a guess, try opening NetSurf's Choices window from the iconbar menu, click on the Images icon, and check that both foreground and background image settings are "Use OS".
