I am using Gvim 7.3 through a remote connection desktop. All toolbar's icons are black.

I don't think it comes from Vim but from windows or graphical drivers but have you got some idea ?

While I haven't experienced this with Vim, I've had similar issues with applications written in Python that make use of Tkinter where, if I launch them (either locally or via RDP) and then (re)connect via RDP, various containers appear blanked out (whether black or default-background/button color).

I don't have a good answer for WHY, but perhaps the additional information can help you track down where/when/why.


You can check the RDP settings, at my workplace by default it is set up to use 16-bit color. I had to change to at least 24-bit for my colorscheme and some other things to work properly.

That was my first suspicion as well. But testing with 15-, 16-, 24-, and 32-bit color (the depths supported by Windows7 mstsc) with both Windows7 mstsc and Gentoo rdesktop, I still had icons in all cases. (using Gvim 7.3e [beta])

Generally, I only access my Windows machines via RDP from Linux (usually rdesktop, occasionally freerdp), and I've not encountered the issue. But, I also tend to stick to `vim` and not `gvim`.

Would be useful to get more info from the OP on versions (of Vim/Gvim and Windows).
