Comment (by vidakris):

 I'm not sure if I experience the same problem, tigervnc shows only a gray
 striped window, but the mouse pointer changes correctly depending on the
 position, and, to make things more weird, the windows appear when the vnc
 window is on an external display, and disappear again on the laptop
 screen.

 It happens with tigervnc @1.7.1_1 on BigSur.


 Replying to [ticket:57896 DanHam]:
 > When opening TigerVNC the windows have no text and are completely blank.
 >
 > I'm fairly confident I have run into the issue described
 [https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/767 here on GitHub]. This
 seems to suggest the problem is specific to machines running Mojave,
 although I am unable to confirm that.

 > As described in that issue, the problem may actually lie with FLTK
 rather than being a problem with TigerVNC directly - see the
 [https://www.fltk.org/str.php?L3496 FLTK bug report].
 >
 > As an aside, I have installed and tested the official (and latest)
 TigerVNC 1.9.0 release and this works OK. Clearly though, I would prefer
 to have TigerVNC installed and managed by MacPorts instead.
