From a performance point of view, it is recommended to turn off Themes.

It is recommended to select "Smooth edges of screen fonts" because of readability.

Windows 10 / Server 2016, 2019

In case of Windows 10 / Server 2016 / Server 2019, themes are always applied to the look-and-feel of each Window on the Desktop of the user.
However, from a performance point of view, it is still useful to "turn off themes", because several aspects of those themes are turned off, like a "shadow" around each Window. And this will improve the performance of the Remote Desktop Session.

When Themes are turned off, the default Windows 10 / Server 2016 / Server 2019 can be perceived as "un-clear" because the border of Windows is only 1 pixel. Because of that, AADS installs 3 themes with a sizeable border:
