Chad,

I suspect your developer is using 32-bit png files for icons. Tell him to explore 8-bit bitmaps. Another possibility ? developer is overdoing ?owner-drawn menus? which in your case are not rendered by Citrix with lossless compression.

Do not get me wrong - I would agree that it takes some effort to create nice looking apps in 256 colors for TS/Citrix environments. However 24-bit requirement is just ridiculous unless it is a sort of imaging application. And don?t be offended - I am directing this comment at your developer.

ALEX :)

I have an app., being developed, that I have already changed from 256 colors
(all we typically require) to 16-bit color. Now, the developer is telling
me his menus are blurry in 16-bit color, I changed to 24-bit, as a test.
That is better. Now he wants to leave it at 24-bit. Can anyone tell me the
bandwidth comparison between 16-bit and 24-bit color usage in Citrix?
