Thank you!

I've noticed that are a few off-by-ones in the plotters. In the 2nd
screenshot, around the text entry boxes there should be a 2px black border
but on your screenshot the border is thicker at some sides than others.
Similarly the borders between featured stories in the News and Sport bits
of the BBC page are too wide.

Borders are plotted by the polygon plotter, which should plot the filled
polygon shape defined by the polygon points, not the filled shape plus a
border outline thickness.

There may be a similar problem with the fill plotter, although it's hard
to tell because of the alpha channels thing. If you look at the top right
of the News section on the BBC page, for example, it looks as if the white
background box is 1px too wide. And it looks like it's 1px too tall at the
bottom.

Also, on the BBC site, the headings like News, Sport and Weather are very
small.

Otherwise the Amiga version is looking nice. :)

Here are some screenshots of the RISC OS version showing those pages:

NetSurf core layout code assumes that the desktop screen dpi is 90, btw.
That affects font sizes and stuff. If the AmigaOS screen dpi is not 90 or
its variable, you should set the css_screen_dpi to the right value in the
AmigaOS specific code.

Do you know if the SDK you need for that will be available by NetSurf 2.0
release time?
