To Alex, OIC. Yes, I agree with you that it's quite a bug (of design). I would expect another "Auto Select" check-box on top of the column of "Colour Level". What encoding is best to use, by the way? I figure that I'd better not using "Raw" as this increases the quantity of data transferring from server to client. But what to choose between "ZRLE" and "Hextile"? Both are compressed data?
To James, Sorry, I lied when I said it's over a low bandwidth :p To the contrary, it's actually over a high bandwidth, but .... there're situations where it's better to consider *as if* we're using low bandwidth. Eg 1. It's possible to have 1Mbit/s up to 7Mbit/s using 3G mobile access to Internet. However, it's quite often that such access is on a pay-per-megabyte basis, ie what you pay depends on the quantity of data transfered. So it's quite natural to reduce the colour level as much as possible. 2. In my home, my Internet access is also high bandwidth, but I notice that the data transfer is like sort of pulses, ie during some seconds, data are transferred, but during the next few seconds, it's as if nothing's got through. So in average, the bandwidth is quite low. Back to my original post, I had done like this: established a connection, changed the Colour Level to low, save the config to a VNC file, and re-open the connection by double-clicking the VNC file. But the Colour Level is still set back to high after a few seconds, and then due to the "pulse" problem I mentioned before, VNC connection is very slow.
