Menu path: Setup > Sessions > RDP > RDP Sessions > [Session Name] > Window

Here, you can specify the settings for the RDP session window.

  • Number of colors
    Possible values:
    • Global setting (default)
    • 256
    • Thousands
    • Millions
  • Window size
    Possible values:
    • Global setting (default)
    • fullscreen: 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 on the selected percentage of the screen area.
  • Desktop scale factor: Defines the desktop scaling in percents. This functionality is available as of IGEL Linux version 5.11.
    Desktop scaling is supported by Windows Server 2012 or higher and by Windows 8.1 or higher.

    Possible values:
    • Global setting (default)
    • 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%
  • Display resolution
    Possible values:
    • Same as window size (default)
    • Value selection: On the server side, the session runs with the display resolution defined here. On the thin client, the session is displayed with the display resolution defined by the Window size parameter. Thus, if the server-side display resolution is lesser than the Window size, the display is magnified appropriately and, if applicable, anti-aliased. Example of use: Applications which run only resp. optimally with a specific display resolution.
  • Start monitor: Specifies the monitor on which the session is to start.
    • No configuration (default)
    • Select a specific monitor
  • Multi monitor fullscreen mode: This setting is relevant if more than one monitor is connected to the terminal:
    • Global setting (default)
    • Restrict fullscreen session onto one monitor
    • Expand fullscreen session onto all monitors
  • Enable internal backing store: If this option is enabled, 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.
