Thinking about "Tab color"
#1
Hi,

as soon as I moved from mRemote to vRD I found there's no tab grouping.
Now I'm looking at possible workaround to this missing feature.

The easiest workaround is to configure the connection folder with a tab color, and set the connections to inherit the color from the parent.
This way I have the connections from each folder with the same tab color.

Since I have a lot of connection folders, it's not practical to select a different tab color for each folder manually. So I tried to use the "random tab color" setting at folder level, but this way will set each child connection with a different random color.

I think the way tab color is inherited from parent folder could be changed to fit this need.
My suggestion is to pick a random color for the parent folder when the first child connection is started, and then use this one for each connection belonging to the same parent folder.

As a side note: the way vRD chooses a random color for tab coloring seems to pick similar colors quite often, leading to contiguos tabs with similar colors. Internet Explorer uses a different algorithm and contiguos tabs have much more contrasting colors.

Regards,

Renato Massone

I agree. I think we have talked about the inheritance of tab-colors before, so you can assign colors to groups of computers, fx similar servers like Print Servers would all be green.

And also, see other post about Tab Groups (http://forum.visionapp.de/showthread.php?tid=3220).
