Menu path: Setup > Sessions > Citrix > Citrix Global > Window

Under Window, you can configure the following settings:

  • Number of colors: Specifies the default color depth.
    Possible values:
    • 16
    • 256
    • 32 Thousand
    • 16 million
    • Automatic
  • Approximate colors: Given the differences between the color palettes used by the ICA client and the thin client desktop, the screen may flash annoyingly if you switch between windows on a pseudo-color screen. The ICA client's color adaptation scheme prevents this flashing as it uses the colors from the local desktop palette in order to display the ICA window session.

    ☑ Flashing when switching between windows is avoided.

    ☐ Disabled (Default)

  • Default horizontal resolution: Specifies the window width in pixels. (Default: 640)
  • Default vertical resolution: Specifies the window height in pixels. (Default: 480)
  • Font smoothing: Enables font smoothing - in the event of performance problems, font smoothing should be switched off as it requires additional computing power.
