Hi All
I refer to this article below, is there a fix from MS for this issue?
We are reviewing migration from Citrix to RemoteApp, but this is causing a reluctance in change.

Hello,
Somehow Windows Basic Theme broken, hyperlinks are changed to yellow, I cant event read text on menus. Also RDP users have same problem when they connect. How can I fix it ?
I installed Desktop Experience, and with Aero theme its ok on administrator RDP , but other users on RDP have same problems.
I resolved this by following:
I've just tried this (thank you Saad)
Open %windir%\Resources. Change security properties of the "Themes" folder and give full control permission to your account. Enable inheritance to apply this setting for all sub folders, or, open "Themes" folder, and give full control permission to your account on file "basic.theme".
This first step will allow you to modify the "basic.theme" file
- On "Themes" folder, right click "basic.theme" and click "open with". Choose Notepad.
- Click on ctrl+f and search for "aerolite.msstyles". Once you find it, replace it by "aero.msstyles".
- Save this. After that, go on control panel - personalization, apply a theme randomly, then reapply the Windows Basic theme.
This indeed worked for me, however somehow I think this isn't a true root cause resolution and am waiting for it to bite me later....
Many thanks
Lea
