05-30-2008, 3:32 AM Bonato_ICOM Joined on 04-07-2008 Posts 7 AB3 on Remote Desktop does not show icons true color Hi, we have a problem using ActiveBar3 on remote desktop XP and Terminal Server 2003. We have an application using a ToolBar with 32aplha icons that work perfectly. When we display the application on remote desktop on XP machine, the icons are not show, blank. We configure the RemoteDesktop to show 32bit (other application such as MS Word works) but the AB3 does not work. Do you have some suggestion? Thanks Bonato Pierantonio    Report

Please note that Terminal Services are not officially supported environment for ActiveBar product and we didn't make any tests under them. Thank you, AndreyT.    Report

It seems that there is a problem with remote desktop 32 bit mode even if you have version 6 installed. I found this article through Google search: Remote Desktop Video 32-bit Mode Windows XP: http://www.somelifeblog.com/2007/10/remote-desktop-video-32-bit-mode.html Thank you, Andrey T.    Report

I have already show this message, but Win2003 (or XP) such as explain in this document can reach max 24bit color, not 32 (check second part of document)!!! The very strange thing is that if I use for example Microsoft Office or other application with 32 bitcolor (I test for example a VisualStudio.NET application with native Toolbar component with same icons on alphachannel) it works perfectly. The second strange thing is that if I start my DD AB3 Toolbar application on remote host and after I connect with remote desktop (on XP) it display the icons of AB3 if they are on 32bit!!! Thanks for your support Pierantonio    Report

12-09-2009, 3:33 AM janttu Joined on 12-03-2003 Posts 200 Re: AB3 on Remote Desktop does not show icons true color You can easily reproduce this problem by setting 32-bit (true color + alpha) icon to button when Windows color quality is 16-bit using Tool::SetPicture interface function. Icon is not shown at all. This is not a matter of Terminal Services. Any ideas for a workaround or proper fix?    Report

Can you please send me an icon to reproduce the behaviour? Thank you, Andrey T.    Report

12-17-2009, 4:06 AM janttu Joined on 12-03-2003 Posts 200 Re: AB3 on Remote Desktop does not show icons true color Attachment: Test.zip Here's one example...this was working with older version of activebar (<3). However, with older versions of activebar the alpha channel was handled incorrectly which made the 32-bit icons look crappy. Now with activebar3 the 32-bit icons disappear totally when color Windows quality is 16-bit.    Report
