Using Zero theme

Use the zero theme option to customize the look and feel of your ThinOS for Citrix, VMware, Classic or VDI mode. To enable a zero

theme, deploy the INI parameters based on your zero theme preference, and restart your thin client. The Visual experience settings

are changed message is displayed, and the thin client loads the selected zero theme.

ZeroTheme={Classic,VDI,Citrix,VMware}

SysMode={Classic,VDI,Citrix,VMware}

INI parameters work with wnos.ini le. You can also use Wyse Management Suite to manage the conguration.

• Citrix zero mode—When you congure ThinOS in Citrix zero mode, the device searches for xen.ini le, and loads the Citrix zero

mode. If the xen.ini le is not available, then the wnos.ini le is used during conguration. If you need to switch from the Citrix

zero mode, then you must use the wnos.ini le during conguration.

• VMware zero mode—When you congure ThinOS in VMware zero mode, the device loads the VMware zero mode.

NOTE: VMware wallpaper is used in the VMware zero mode.

Classic interactive desktop guidelines

The Classic desktop has a Dell Wyse default background with a horizontal task bar at the bottom of the screen.

Use the following guidelines:

• Icons representing available server connections and published applications are displayed on the background. If you pause the

mouse pointer over an icon, the information about the connection will be displayed. Right-clicking on an icon opens the

Connection Settings dialog box which displays additional information about the connection. The number of icons that can be

displayed on the desktop depends on the desktop resolution and administrator conguration.

• A server connection and published application can be opened by double-clicking a desktop icon or a user can navigate to the

desktop icon they want by using tab key and pressing Enter to initiate the connection.

• Right-clicking on the desktop provides a shortcut menu, see Using the shortcut menu.
