    Has anyone been having weird issues with Chrome via remote desktop? Basically the top caption is showing big black areas that look like an overlay window where they tried to get a little fancy. The problem is I can no longer minimise or maximise the pesky thing.

          It works for me as well! BTW: Were you afraid to run Chrome on your system?

            Because I took the screenshot on a Mac. I could not figure out how to save it as a PNG. CP does not allow TIFFs to be uploaded and PDF was the next best thing. :)

              as we all know, Chrome already creates a RD to Google and they review your desktop for any "bad words" which are then blacked out ... didn't you see that in their Ts & Cs :-O :rolleyes:

                Well Chris, as you know, I am an upcoming star of stage and screen, classically trained in the Stanislavski school of method acting. I shall now reprise, for your edification and wonder, various responses to your question that you might encounter on the Internet. The Microsoft Fanboy You're using Chrome? IE RULEZ! Man, that Chrome sucks. It suck-idy, sucks, sucks, sucks! The Firefox Fanboy You're using anything but Firefox? Man, Firefox RULEZ! Google and M$ suck-idy, suck, suck, suck! The Opera Fanboy There is no browser - except Opera! Everything else suck-idy, sucks, sucks, sucks! The Chrome Fanboy It must be a problem with M$. Everything without in-built adverts - like You Tube now - suck-idy, sucks, sucks, sucks! The RemoteDesktop Evangelist Doesn't work with RemoteDesktop? Must be a Google problem! RD ROCKS! and everything else suck-idy, sucks, sucks, sucks! The Open Source Guru The MAN is trying to STEAL your soul man! Fight the power! Strike back against the man! Freedom! If you're not free you suck-idy, suck, suck, suck! That bearded chap who may or may not know the answer *mumbles* *mumbles* *mumbles* suck-idy *mumbles* *mumbles* *mumbles* sucks. The actual useful answer that might help No, I've never encountered this. However, I find that Windows Key + M is very useful when things just don't play ball.

                  You probably do not have 'Themes' enabled in the RD connection settings.

                    Mac does not have something like paint brush, where you can paste the image and save it as PNG? :~

                      Since you're running on a windows box are you sure you haven't contracted a case of Grausitis?
