Trouble limiting colors

Post by shinomen »

I have setup a SC VNC .exe file that automatically connects to my computer so that I can see a remote desktop. Everything works fine but I want to be able to limit the color depth so that I can cut down on bandwith and make the connection more responsive.

Here is the how I start the viewer:

"c:\program files\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe" /listen 5500 /dsmplugin msrc4plugin.dsm /autoscaling

I tried to re-do the startup options using the flowing

"c:\program files\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe" /listen 5500 /dsmplugin msrc4plugin.dsm /autoscaling /64colors

but it does not change the colors. But I am able to open the connection properties once the connection has been made and change the color depth and the changes are made.

What do I need to do to make the default connection come back with 64 colors?

Thanks.

To config the color depth setting in cmdline, you need to include the "-noauto" switch before the color depth switch, so your cmd should be like this:

"c:\program files\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe" /listen 5500 /dsmplugin msrc4plugin.dsm /autoscaling /noauto /64colors
