Change the Display Mode for a Remote Desktop on Horizon Windows Client

You can change the display mode, such as from All Displays mode to Single Display mode, before or after you connect to a remote desktop. This feature is not supported for published applications.

Procedure

1. Start Omnissa Horizon Client and connect to a server.

2. Open the Settings dialog box for the remote desktop.

   • Click the Settings (gear) icon in the upper-right corner of the desktop and application selection window and select the remote desktop in the left pane.
   • Right-click the remote desktop in the desktop and application selection window and select Settings.

3. From the Display drop-down menu, on the Windows - Virtual Desktop screen, select the display mode.

   Option	Description
   Use All Displays	Uses all displays for the desktop. If you have multiple displays, all of them will be used.
   Use Single Display	Only a single display will be used for the remote desktop.
   Use Selected Displays	Only select displays will be used for the remote desktop.
   	The following configuration settings might display for the display options.
   Window - Large	Maximizes the remote desktop window.
   Window - Small	Sets the remote desktop window size to 640 x 480 pixels in 100 percent scaling.
   Custom	Displays a slider that you can use to configure a custom remote desktop window size.

Results

If you are connected to the remote desktop, your changes are applied immediately. If you are not connected to the remote desktop, your changes are applied when you connect to it. Horizon Client saves display settings in a preferences file for the remote desktop after you exit from Horizon Client.

Note: If Horizon Client uses all monitors, and you maximize a published application window, the window expands to the full screen of only the monitor that contains it.
