I think it might just be a timing issue when DisplayFusion reloads the taskbar, it might be reloading it too early, and still getting parts of the old classic theme from the RDP session. Did this only start happening with DisplayFusion 8.0? ]]> RE: Taskbar visual style uses wrong theming when logging back in from a RDP session https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-visual-style-uses-wrong-theming-when-logging-back-in-from-a-rdp-session/?ID=a97713f1-cb0f-4d92-a8ca-824f9ed01123#3 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:45:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-visual-style-uses-wrong-theming-when-logging-back-in-from-a-rdp-session/?ID=a97713f1-cb0f-4d92-a8ca-824f9ed01123#3 DisplayFusion No, the number and resolution of monitors is different between home and work. At home, there are 3, with the main being 2560x1080 and the two secondarys being 1920x1080. At work (what I remote into) there are two, both 1920x1080.

It might be worth noting that both secondarys at home are connected via DisplayLink.

This is probably just a total edge case, maybe even a fault on Microsoft's side, and has a pretty easy workaround since I have to do it at most once a day. ]]> RE: Taskbar visual style uses wrong theming when logging back in from a RDP session https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-visual-style-uses-wrong-theming-when-logging-back-in-from-a-rdp-session/?ID=a97713f1-cb0f-4d92-a8ca-824f9ed01123#2 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 19:52:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-visual-style-uses-wrong-theming-when-logging-back-in-from-a-rdp-session/?ID=a97713f1-cb0f-4d92-a8ca-824f9ed01123#2 DisplayFusion I wasn't able to reproduce this here, but I'm wondering if that's because my taskbars are fully reloading when I connect to the console again. Are you connecting to the machine from a machine with the same number of monitors, and the same resolution? ]]> Taskbar visual style uses wrong theming when logging back in from a RDP session https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-visual-style-uses-wrong-theming-when-logging-back-in-from-a-rdp-session/?ID=a97713f1-cb0f-4d92-a8ca-824f9ed01123 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:10:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-visual-style-uses-wrong-theming-when-logging-back-in-from-a-rdp-session/?ID=a97713f1-cb0f-4d92-a8ca-824f9ed01123 DisplayFusion 1. Open RDP dialog
2. Uncheck "visual styles" in Experience tab of settings
3. Log-in to remote computer with DisplayFusion installed
4. Close RDP session
5. Log-in to computer in-person
6. See screenshot

The left monitor is my main display. Only secondary monitors are affected. Running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, DF 8.0. This isn't unique to the latest update, has been happening.

Workaround: Exit and restart DF ]]>
