NOTE: Every INI option is associated with a corresponding INI parameter. Use these INI options along with the
corresponding INI parameter.
Table 120. INI parameters
INI parameters Description*
[VMWaitTimer={0-3600}]
The parameter specifies the time remaining in seconds
for reconnecting to a Horizon desktop before exiting
the desktop. When the connection fails while connecting
to a Horizon desktop, a message Horizon Error-
Waiting to recover is displayed along with the
countdown timer. The range is 0–3600. After the count
down reaches 0, the connection is canceled and you can
exit to the ThinOS desktop.
[RemoteDisplay.allowClientH264YUV444={True,fals
e}]
The parameter allows you to enable or disable the High
Color Accuracy feature in a Blast session with H.264
enabled.
[EnableNewConnection={yes, no}]
The parameter enables you to create a connection for
a low-privileged user. When you set the PRIVILEGE
parameter to Low and the EnableNewConnection
parameter to yes, an option to create a connection
is enabled in the Connect Manager window. In zero
mode, the Add Connection button is added along with
connection properties.
SignonStatusColor=“rrr ggg bbb”
The parameter specifies the sign-on status and the
unlocking status text color respectively in the RGB string
format. The decimal numbers rrr, ggg, and bbb are in the
range of 0—255. By default, the status text color is light
red ("255 60 60") for ThinOS lite and gray for ThinOS.
