inner/outer edges. Using the Add Bevel after Add Border works fine.

But in Add Border, using a large delta gives what looks like perhaps a
metal frame with thin outer edges and thicker inner edges (or vice-versa
depending on how you perceive it). Still, as I said, it's not a problem in
practice as a delta of 1 gives a virtually undetectable change in colour.

Thanks for the recipe to fix it. I couldn't have figured any of this out
for myself. I haven't tried it yet, but I will attempt the local scripts
version as this would be safer and as you say protected against upgrades
overwriting it.
