RDM Themes - Please, add "neutral gray" theme
0 vote
Hello,
RDM seems to be very a promising to me, but there is one annoying feature - lack of neutral "all gray" theme.
I don't like Dark theme, I can use only Light theme. But I don't like the main blue color - in form headers, top panel, status bar, etc. Simply it is too conspicuous.
Blue is a decent color in general, but in such management tool for advanced users, I need concentration on remote desktop content itself, and for this I really loved mRemote/Terminals neutral gray colors everywhere in the app.
Please, will it be possible to add such neutral "all gray" theme? Or even better, will it possible to edit theme colors itself?
I suppose neutral theme (or user-defined one) will be very useful for all other users.
Thank you for your effort!
Peter.

Hello,
We use to have a Gray theme but with the latest update, we decided to focus only on Light and Dark theme, There is a lot of minor adjustment/bugs to fix each time we support a color scheme and I prefer to focus on the remote desktop features.
Sorry about that.

I agree with Peter, it's a pity that the themes have gone. Since we have an intricate environment with sometimes multiple hop/jump servers where we need to jump from one to another, and even further (sometimes 3 or 4 deep) we'd like to keep the theme for the outer session black, the second session gray, the third level default blue. it would give some indication where you are, on screen, and on which menu item to click.
Especially since the themes were there in the previous version, it is really sad it is removed.....

Hello,
The gray theme is still available but not listed in Options. This mean that if you already have it configured, it will be used. You can edit the remotedesktopmanager.cfg file and set the Theme to Office2016Dark.
I can't guarantee for how long we will maintain the theme in the futur and this is why it's no longer listed. @Ben I will create a ticket for you requirement. I think we could find another way to change the menu color and not impact the whole application.

Hello David.
Being developer itself, I understand some difficulties in the development process, but user/application ergonomics is the main part of usefulness of every product.
I can live with the light theme, but I need to have just one option - show default gray color instead of conspicuous blue one.
I really believe that this one change will be feasible.
Thank you in advance!
Peter.
Hello,
Could you use an arrow to show me exactly which gray you have in mind? I will check what we do but we use the DevExpress theme and sometime (I know it might sound weird) we are unable to customize the colors.
