Text color customization on login window
You can customize the text color in the login window or the lock window by using the INI parameter—Signon=yes
SignonStatusColor="rrr ggg bbb.
NOTE: The default text color is gray.
Smart card as Proximity Card of Imprivata
The feature to treat smart card authentications as proximity card authentications is added.
You can use a smart card as proximity card and authenticate the user. When you insert the smart card, it is considered as a
proximity card tap and removing the smart card is considered as tap-out. To use a smart card as proximity card, go to Policies
> Computer Policy in the OneSign Administrator console and select the Treat smart card authentications as proximity
card authentications check box.
New system variable for MAC address
New system variable $UMAC for MAC address in uppercase format is added.
Reconnect workflow for VMware Horizon View broker
The INI parameter VMWaitTimer={0–3600} is added to enhance the reconnect workflow of the VMware Horizon View
broker.
The option VMWaitTimer specifies the time remaining in seconds to reconnect 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. The value is taken as 20 by default if the value set is lesser
than 20. If the value set is greater than 3600, 3600 is taken as the value by default. After the count down reaches 0, the
connection is canceled and you can exit to the ThinOS desktop.
VMware Horizon package
VMware Horizon package is updated to version 5.0.53374.
● Supports the relative mouse feature in a PCoIP session.
When you enable the relative mouse feature, Horizon Client uses absolute coordinates to transmit data about the mouse
pointer movements and improves the mouse performance. To enable the relative mouse feature on a classic desktop, right-
click the remote desktop icon on the ThinOS taskbar, and click Enable Relative Mouse. To enable the relative mouse
feature on a zero desktop, go to the ThinOS connection menu, and click the A icon that is displayed after the PCoIP session
name.
● Supports the High Color Accuracy feature in a Blast session with H.264 enabled.
This option enables Horizon Client to use a superior color fidelity when H.264 decoding is enabled. To enable the High Color
Accuracy feature, go to Global Connection Settings, click the Horizon tab, and select the High Color Accuracy check
box.
