Select Keep Connection to maintain the link between Remote Desktop and Desktop Server even when clicking
on device, for example, in the object tree, which deactivates the Remote Desktop and the Layout Editor.
If the Keep Connection option is not checked, the link is severed when switching to the a dif-
ferent node in the object tree and has to be reestablished by clicking on the Display Wall.
Starting with Apollo 1.9 there is an option Allow to resize 'non-sizable' windows. As default, this option is not
selected. When ticked, the size of e.g. viewer windows which have no borders (and which therefore cannot be
resized) can be modified.
The taskbar can be shown or hidden. If shown, you can select the position of the taskbar.
7.6.3.2 Preview tab
Starting with Apollo 1.8, the remote desktop offers to show content preview of the applications running on the
display wall (also for viewers, except for the FRG viewer, for this viewer "content placeholders" can be defined,
see below 7.6.3.3 Frg Pictures tab).
This functionality is built on the Pro Sever which has to be installed on the desktop server. Select it from one of
the Pro Server sources defined in the viewersources.ini (use Pro Server source) or define it (specify Pro
Server). Then the name of the host computer and the password has to be specified.
Check Show preview to see the content of the viewer in the mini window on the remote desktop. Define the
refresh interval for updating the preview content.
The following pictures show the appearance of the remote desktop in case preview is switched off (not selected)
and switched on (selected), respectively.
Please note that for the FRG viewer windows no preview can be shown (blue window). To
get information about the sources displayed via the FRG viewer, cf. 7.6.3.3 Frg Pictures tab
