in 3.4.0 Beta 8 everything color modes (15,16,24,32bit) works OK!

Thank.

Could you give it a try and let me know how it goes?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#11 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:41:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#11 DisplayFusion Nice catch! I didn't even think to try it at 16-bit colour. After changing my connection settings to 16-bit, mine is definitely messed up.

We'll do some debugging now that we can reproduce the issue here, and we'll hopefully have a fix in one of the next few beta versions.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#10 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:04:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#10 DisplayFusion Hi Keith,

new beta still don't works. Icon on second monitor is bad. But I have a new information - there is dependency on setings "Color depth" in RDP client. If I select 32bit color depth then icon is OK (32bit.jpg). If I select lower color depth (8,16,24) then icon is bad (16bit.jpg).

Couple of questions:

- Could you try the latest Beta version to see if your issue still exists?
http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

- If you Remote Desktop into other machines that are running DisplayFusion, do they also show the double start button?

Everything looked OK, so we're going to look into it a bit more to try and determine what to try next. We'll keep you posted! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#7 Mon, 30 May 2011 19:30:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#7 DisplayFusion Hello,

We'd like to analyze it to see if there's something different about the resource files for the Start button. Please email it to support@displayfusion.com. You'll probably need to copy somewhere on your computer and rename it to Explorer.txt, otherwise it will likely get rejected by our mail server.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#5 Sat, 28 May 2011 05:14:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#5 DisplayFusion Yes it works. Behavior is like one button - for example when I move mouse cursor on one of them then both buttons have a hover effect. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#4 Fri, 27 May 2011 18:18:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#4 DisplayFusion Ok, I'm going to do some more testing on this early next week. I haven't been able to reproduce it so far but I will keep looking into it to see if there's anything I can figure out.

Does the Start Menu actually open if you click either of those buttons, or only if you click one of them? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#3 Wed, 25 May 2011 06:09:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#3 DisplayFusion Logs (troubleshooting and debug) are in attachments.

Re-enable start button doesn't have any effect -start button is still duplicated and deformed.

When I have disabled option "Visual styles" in Remote Desktop Client then start button looks OK. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#2 Tue, 24 May 2011 15:40:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/double-start-menu-button-on-second-monitor-on-remote-desktop/?ID=7f0736d8-797e-4afc-b6ba-e683d6d69137#2 DisplayFusion Could you send me the info from the troubleshooting log when the issue is present?

Also, if you disable and re-enable the Start button (right-click the taskbar, go to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Start Button), does the Start button go back to looking normal?
