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 conguration.
• Citrix zero mode—When you congure 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 conguration. If you need to switch from the Citrix
zero mode, then you must use the wnos.ini le during conguration.
• VMware zero mode—When you congure 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 conguration.
• 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.
