    I've set up vncserver on my new build and I can connect using RealVNC VNC Viewer, however the colours are a bit off and it looks kind of awful. See this screenshot:

    What can I do to put this right?

    I've been using depth 24 when creating the vnc session, but as far as I can see no other depths make a difference. Is it something else?

      can you share your .vnc/xstartup file settings for accessing gnome desktop through vnc?

    I don't mind people editing my posts, but when you edit them to remove correct spellings and put in incorrect ones that's taking the biscuit...

    I don't understand whatever are you trying to say. Please, create a new answer telling how did you solved your issue if you want to. In such a case I will delete this. If you have something wrong with something on the answer, you can edit it..

    @Conn Firstly: Anyone and everyone can edit everyone's posts. If that's not OK with you then this probably isn't the place for you. See the FAQ. Second: "color" is the American version of the British "colour", so it's still correct. Rather a trivial thing I know, but then, this is the internet. It's diverse. Thirdly: Being rude is absolutely 100% NOT allowed. After all, it's just a word.
