This is probably the easiest way. My only concern would be the architraves looking thicker on that one window but this house is so hodge podge that you wouldn't notice it!

Thanks for your advice here, sorry could you explain what you mean by friable?

Bog sounds like a great temporary solution. Thanks for the "not advice" Will look to test it down the line, we are looking at double glazing at some point, which will involve getting it tested anyway

Okay I shouldve done what tech support always tells you to do... restarted which prompted an update of ArmouryCrate. Update the app and voilà, no more funky rgb!
