Hi,

I'm connecting to several of my computers using TigerVNC on the server side and RemoteDesktop always screws up the colors of the screen, which can make it difficult to read sometimes. See the attached screenshot (tested on Windows, Android and iOS).

Hello

Sorry for the inconvenience. Can you let me know the version of TigerVNC running on the server, as well as the server OS and version?

Thanks and kind regards,
