What else has changed? 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.
