Menu path: Setup > Sessions > RDP > RDP Global > Window
In this area, you can configure the window for RDP sessions.
You can change the following settings:
Number of colors: Specifies the color depth. Possible values:
256
Thousands
Millions
Window size: Specifies the width and height of the window.
Full screen: The session is shown on the full screen. The thin client's taskbar is not visible.
Workarea: The session is shown on the full screen minus the area needed by the thin client's taskbar
Numeric details: The session is shown in the selected resolution or according to the selected percentage of the screen area.
Desktop scale factor: Defines the desktop scaling as a percentage value. Choose a value from the drop-down list or enter a percentage value manually.
Desktop scaling is supported by Windows Server 2012 or higher and by Windows 8.1 or higher.
Possible values:
auto: The resolution configured under Setup > User Interface > Display > Options Monitor DPI is used for the RDP session.
Numeric details: The display is magnified by the factor specified here. Value range: 100% - 500%
Set the Desktop scale factor to a fixed value of 100% to allow server-side desktop scaling to take effect. All values other than 100% overwrite the server-side setting. Currently, this only works for single-monitor sessions.
Enable Display Control
The window size can be changed during the session. (default)
If the window size is to be changed during the session, at least Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 must be running on the server.
It is not possible to change the window size during the session if the window size is set to full screen or work area.
Control bar for RDP sessions
A symbol bar for minimizing and closing a full-screen session will be shown.
If the symbol bar is enabled, a session will be shown on one monitor only, even if Multi Monitor Fullscreen mode is set to Expand fullscreen session onto all monitors.
Enable Internal Backing Store
The window content will be saved in an internal buffer. In the event of an expose event, buffering ensures that the window content is obtained from the internal buffer rather than having to be retrieved from the server. This reduces the burden on the network.
Multi monitor fullscreen mode: Stipulates whether the full-screen mode is to be extended to all monitors. Possible values:
