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.

SysMode={Classic,VDI,Citrix,VMware}
INI parameters work with wnos.ini file. You can also use Wyse Management Suite to manage the configuration.
● Citrix zero mode—When you configure ThinOS in Citrix zero mode, the device searches for xen.ini file, and loads the Citrix
zero mode. If the xen.ini file is not available, then the wnos.ini file is used during configuration. If you need to switch from the
Citrix zero mode, then you must use the wnos.ini file during configuration.
● VMware zero mode—When you configure ThinOS in VMware zero mode, the device loads the VMware zero mode.
NOTE: VMware wallpaper is used in the VMware zero mode.

be displayed on the desktop depends on the desktop resolution and administrator configuration.
