I'm really happy to see that there will be improvements related to colour space and more specifically to CMYK.

Is this a recent improvement? I'm pretty sure I had Runelite back when I came up with the AHK script, two or three years ago. Or maybe the issue came up while I was playing RS3? It's been a while so I don't remember the detai

That's a browser extension, so it can help with websites but not with Runescape, unless I'm missing something?

I love Autohotkey because, in addition to its productivity benefits, it's a defensive tool against dark patterns imposed by user-hostile companies. For example, I've been using it for years to enter my Runescape password [1] due t

> soap scum in hard water areas I have a question, I live in a soft water area so I'm not familiar with the problem. Would you have the same issue if you were using vegetable oil-based soap (e.g. Marseille soap, Castile soap etc.)?
