Active tab barely recognizable

avatar

Hello,

Today I noticed that RDM changed its color scheme (or is it the rewrite to Avalonia UI causing it?), and it's barely recognizable which of my tabs is active - the one I'm working with. Please fix this. It's 2026.2.13.0 64-bit (PreJIT).

Thank you.

Hello,

We are currently investigating your issue. Do you experience the same behavior with the Dark Theme?

Best regards,

The Dark Theme is a bit better, but I'm not a huge fan of it with RDM.

When designing color scheme, I'd suggest that the active tab has blue icon adornment, and the inactive is gray. This is how it usually works: something active, current is colorful, and other things are dimmed, gray, not visually attractive.
Thanks.

Hello,

Just to give you an update: I would ask for your RemoteDesktopManager.cfg file to try to reproduce your issue, but our internal file-sharing setup is having issues at the moment. As soon as this is fixed, we will contact you.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for sending the file.

Apologies, however, I should of asked you to sanitize the file before sending as per the document: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/send-a-sanitized-copy-of-your-configuration-file

Therefore, we have deleted the file you sent us. If you could please attach a new sanitized CFG file to the link provided, that would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Thank you again!

Hello,

We have a good lead on reproducing the issue and are currently looking into it. Do you use any contrast themes in Windows?

Best regards,

Those are my Windows settings.
For Windows I prefer dark mode, whereas for some individual apps, such as RDM, I set Light theme in the app.
Hope it helps.

Hello,

I have found a way to reproduce the issue, but I'll need to talk to the Engineering Team. As soon as we have news, we'll post here.
