Enabling 24-bit colour RDP in Windows 2003
By admin | March 7, 2009
By default, Windows 2003 RDP connections were designed to be limited to 16-bit colour. This makes some of the Windows icons look bad because they were designed to be viewed in 24-bit colour or higher.
- Go to Start -> Run.
- Type in gpedit.msc and click on OK to run the program.
- In the window that opens’ left panel, go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services.
- On the right-hand panel, find the setting that says Limit maximum color depth and double-click it.
- In the dialog box that pops up, select Enabled from the radio buttons at the top of the dialog.
- In the combo box, select “24 bit” or “Client compactable“.
- Click OK.
- Restart the computer for settings to take effect.
