Overcoming the Restrictions of a Full-Screen Session with the in-Session Control Bar

Running a session in full-screen mode gives you the advantage that the complete real estate of your monitor is at the disposal of that session. However, you might still want to eject a hotplug drive, or to minimize or end the current session. The solution provided by IGEL Linux is called in-session control bar.


Activating the in-session control bar:

  1. Open the Setup and go to User Interface > Desktop > In-Session Control Bar.

  2. Activate Use in-session control bar in all supported sessions if you want to have an in-session control bar in all session types for which it is supported. If you want to have an in-session control bar only in sessions of certain types, activate the appropriate options, e.g. Control bar for RDP sessions.
