Hi,
I've just upgraded to ASG-RD 2015 and was able to migrate my 2012 environment very easily. I've noticed one small change in the UI that's causing me grief. The Menu font has been predefined, no longer inheriting the Windows 7 Theme fonts settings.
This sounds like a very small thing and "why should anyone care". The problem is that RDP sessions remember desktop icon arrangements based on session resolution. Having many servers with a consistent icon setup for management makes a big mess if the RDP session slightly varies in resolution. I typically use Microsoft Sans Serif 12PT for my Menu items. The font used in 2015 in unknown, but enough to skew the RDP vertical resolution by 6 pixels, messing up every server's RDP session resolutions. So if all of my sessions in 2012 were 1252 x 846, they are now 1252 x 865 without the ability to customize the UI.
I'm extremely particular about UI changes in any program ("a la" Steve Jobs) and get very frustrated when developers make arbitrary changes (to an already well functioning UI) for no apparent reason. I never understood why some Windows app developers decide to ignore Windows UI API's, customizations and windows management. Perhaps it was an oversight and if this were an open source program, maybe I wouldn't be so critical.
Please, would it be possible to re-incorporate this feature or provide a work-around to get ASG-RD 2015 to inherit Windows Theme settings. I've added a graphic attachment for comparison.
Thanks,
Mark
