Hi,

For Windows guests when the spice-vdagent is running and network
is slow, by default when Spice recognizes its a slow network
it disables some features on the guest to lower the
bandwidth, such as animations, color depth, etc.

You can ask for that specifically with the spice client command line:
remote-viewer --spice-color-depth=16 --spice-disable-effects=all ...

     Uri.
