Wallpaper not removed

Post by Prisma »

With older versions the wall paper is removed while captureAlphaBlending is enabled. With 1.1.7. the wallpaper isn't removed.

Is this a proposed behaviour?

ultravnc.ini:

Code: Select all

[admin]
UseRegistry=0
UseDSMPlugin=1
DSMPlugin=vncstarter.dsm
SocketConnect=0
HTTPConnect=0
DisableTrayIcon=1
path=C:\Users\optik\AppData\Local\Temp\xxx\
CaptureAlphaBlending=1
secundary=1
AuthRequired=0
service_commandline=-autoreconnect ID:1234 -connect xxx.xxx.xx
[poll]
TurboMode=0
PollFullScreen=1
EnableHook=1

Of course you can use

Code: Select all

[admin]
RemoveWallpaper=1
I know this option very well. But that's not the point. The point is, that in older versions this option wasn't necessary. If I remember correctly in 1.0.6.3 there were dependencies to other options. We used the posted config and the wallpaper is/was removed.

So, in future the solution is to set the removeWallpaper option explicit?

THX for Info, Rudi. Setting explicit removeWallpaper=1is no problem. It's only good to know...
