What causes solid-colour viewer windows?

What causes solid-colour client areas in the viewer?

I have seen this off and on during testing various features. The screen shot below is from a test of ChunkVNC Fork 3.1m.

This was through a repeater, and admittedly my outside network speed was likely slow. Does the encryption add a huge amount of over head?

And what about "speed 0"?

If this is at the welcome/login screen, please see my comment in your other thread.

If not, I don't know.

Sorry, I forgot some details I posted elsewhere.

Both machines are XP Pro going through the Perl repeater.

The plugin is enabled to get password access control, dont really care for encryption.

The server was logged in. I could move the mouse around and click on things.

No screen saver enabled.

AFAIK it's simply the initial color of the Viewer window while it waits for the Server to send a screen update.
Previous versions of the Viewer had a black color if I remember correctly.

Thanks supercoe!

I suspected as much.

I think this "problem" is related to this post:
https://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=28648

In that both of use are getting to the state of having a blank (solid colour) viewer screen that never gets data from the server.

Well, likely not "never" in my case, just slow enough I gave up before it came in.

I don't know if this will help at all but I've had really good luck suggesting these ultravnc.ini settings to people lately:

PollForeground=1
PollFullScreen=0
PollUnderCursor=1
EnableHook=1

Remember to restart the Server after modifying the ultravnc.ini file.
