Feel free to fix it... :-) The issue is that NetSurf's core has to render any frame furniture when a page requests it be drawn, and whilst it defers this to the GUI (IIRC), it's fairly non-trivial for the RISC OS front-end to use the standard desktop furniture. It's been a long time, but (again IIRC) I'm fairly sure that I concluded when I looked at this that the only way to get "standard" scrollbars would be to replicate the Wimp's rendering of the component bits within NetSurf's RISC OS front-end -- which, aside from being relatively complex, also took us into areas best described as "sparsely documented" and hence fragile if the OS developers change the way things work. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
