Server entered in the Broker Setup tab.
a. Classic Desktop — Displays the full taskbar, desktop and Connect Manager familiar to ThinOS users. This option is
recommended for terminal server environments and for backward compatibility with ThinOS 6.x versions.
b. Zero Launchpad — Displays the new launch pad style GUI designed for VDI use. Functionality is accessed through an
always available interface. This option is recommended for VDI and any full-screen only connections. Toolbar, hotkey and
connection icon options are also available for configuration.
If you select the Zero Launchpad, then use the following guidelines:
● Select the check box to enable Zero Toolbar activation in left pane.
○ Select the button if you want to enable Zero Toolbar activation in left pane when you pause a mouse on the
screen. You must select the time duration—0. 0.5 or 1 second—after which the Zero toolbar is activated.
○ Select the button if you want to enable Zero Toolbar activation in left pane only after clicking.
● Select the check box to disable hotkey to show toolbar.
● Select the check box to always disable toolbar when you have one session available.
