I'm attempting to use VNC PC Server and Macintosh Viewer to manage
the following process:
We're a Java development shop. I'm the lone Mac user, on the GUI
team, making what I call surface elements. That happens in Photoshop.
Our Java-based apps run under Windows, so I have to run them on the
PC and take screen captures, using Photoshop layers to build my
elements, make GIF's out of them, and send those on to the coders.
I arrange the PC desktop/application window environment as I want
them. But, using a Mac-side screen capture program, the following
results:
- Windows OS screen elements are captured flawlessly
- our Java-based application screen elements are degraded, generally
with solid areas of color becoming pixelated with two related shades
of color.
If I use a PC-side screen capture program and save that file to disk
(either PC or, via a shared folder, the Mac), and open *that* file on
the Mac, there's no problem with the image.
This is not the end of the world but it introduces a batch of extra
steps into the process which I'd like to eliminate.
Is this some Java snafu, a potential buggy interaction in our
software, an interaction between VNC and Java, or VNC-Java-MacOS,
etc...?
Note: although both computers occupy my desk I do not (yet) have a
switchbox to enable the use of my various input devices and the
display toggling between the systems.
