Skinning error on windowed Remote Desktop sessions
Monday, December 26, 2005 by Richard Turvey | Discussion: WindowBlinds
On my WindowBlinds (5.00 build 49 x86) PC I run standard xpSP2 remote desktop to access other PCs (also XP but without WindowBlings installed). As long as I keep the remote desktop session either full screen maximised or minimised to taskbar they work fine. If I put it into windowed mode and then maximise it again I get WindowBlinds title and scroll bars which obscure the regular remote desktop full screen mode (and make it unusable since I need to scroll to get to see/use the remote taskbar all the time). Using per application setting to ignore the mstsc.exe doesn't change this behaviour. This did not happen with earlier releases of WB4.5 - I started seeing it with WB4.5 several months ago and still here with latest WB5.

I have this issue also,
but i have it in full screen as well as windowed modes. I think this has something to do with the fact that RDP sessions dont run in true color only
high color modes. I would like to hear what the developers have to say about this and what we can do to avoid unloading WB5 just to use RDP..

SD, are you going to get a fix for this in the next release?

What's the point of this forum if not to report the problem to SD? I've listed multiple issues on these forums and sometimes Neil pops on to give his input or state that a fix is comming. I vote that the developers read these forums a little more.
