Understanding the Window Display Modes

The thin clients allow three different display modes, including:

•Standard window - Window frame, title bar, content area, including icons, and so on. This mode is available for use with any connection.

•Seamless window - Seamless display. This mode is available for use with published applications only.

•Full-screen- Occupies the entire monitor screen with no thin client taskbar, title bar, or window borders. This mode is available for use with any connection.

Note

In all display modes, use CTRL+ALT+DOWNARROW to open a selection box for toggling between the desktop, Connect Manager, and currently-active connections.

The display modes that are available depend on what window mode was in use when the connection was started. That in turn depends on the relative resolution settings of the screen and connection. The screen resolution is the actual hardware resolution used by the thin client video chip (local resolution set either by DDC or selected manually and is referred to as the default resolution). This resolution can be different than the connection resolution (set with the Connection Settings dialog box or in the user profile by the administrator), which is the dimensions of the connection screen display in pixels.

Use the following guidelines:

•If the connection is started in full-screen mode, a user can toggle between Full-screen mode and Standard window mode by using CTRL+ALT+UPARROW.

•If the connection is started with either the default resolution or a connection resolution matching the current display resolution, and then the Seamless window mode is selected, the connection starts in the Seamless window mode (the Seamless mode has a few less rows of pixels than the Full-screen mode to make room for the thin client task bar at the bottom of the screen). The task bar displays on startup, but can be modified to be shown or hidden by using CTRL+ALT+UPARROW. In this Seamless window mode the connection display cannot be moved to a different location on the screen, regardless of whether or not the task bar is displayed. When the task bar is hidden, the area at the bottom of the screen is blank (black). When the task bar is shown, it can be used to switch between sessions simply by clicking an icon for another session in the task bar.

•If the connection is started with an explicit resolution (that is, something other than the default resolution set in the user profile or Connection Settings dialog box) less than the current default resolution and the Standard window mode is selected (in the Connection Settings dialog box or in the user profile setting), the connection is displayed in a Standard window. Using CTRL+ALT+UPARROW changes the current screen resolution to match the connection resolution and the connection is displayed in Full-screen mode. Using CTRL+ALT+UPARROW again restores the original screen resolution and will again display the connection in the Standard window mode. In Full-screen mode the hardware resolution changes only for the duration of the connection, then changes back to the default resolution when the connection is no longer in the foreground.

•Making a Seamless window a Full-screen display does not cause the application to fill the screen. Instead, the application remains the same size and any portion of the screen previously not occupied is filled with a black mask (including the screen space previously occupied by the thin client taskbar).

Note

The thin client features PNAgent (a Program Neighborhood folder support).

With PNAgent, icons are populated to folders based on the Program
