Zoom Menu
In the Zoom menu there are a number of options to set the zoom factor and resize the
window to achieve that zoom factor. For example, if the attached server is running at
XGA resolution (1024 x 768), and you select 50% zoom, the main window will be set to
a size of approximately 512 x 384.
Note: Please keep in mind that not all zoom factors will be possible, as some notebook
screens are too small for the larger percentages. If so, the software will resize to the
largest window possible.
Since many notebooks have smaller screens, you may wish to run this program
maximized. Full-screen mode is supported, where the window decorations are
removed and other applications are hidden. Click on the full-screen/window icon ( )
on the toolbar or select it from the Zoom menu.
To get out of full screen mode, click the icon again. If the toolbar is disabled when you
enter full-screen mode, a smaller toolbar is provided with only the Fullscreen and Quit
options. This toolbar floats and may be moved out of your way, but cannot be hidden
completely.
Also in the Zoom menu is an option to center the window on the screen. This can
be handy when it is off the edge of the screen. There is also a shortcut for maximize
(toggle). This is the same as clicking the maximize button in the title bar of the main
window.
Other Notes
• If the laptop is widescreen (16:10 aspect, or 1280x800, etc), it may be helpful to
locate the toolbar along the left or right vertical edge. This provides more usable
screen height, and if the server’s screen is square (4:3 aspect) the left and right
vertical edges would not be used.
• This program will not enlarge video, only shrink it. Therefore, text mode
(720x480 or similar) will not be enlarged to fill your screen.
• The toolbar is automatically disabled when you select a Zoom factor below 50%.
You need to enable it manually when you return to a larger size.
• Unusable parts of the window are shown in grey. This happens because the video is
scaled by an integer factor of 1/16 and due to other rounding issues.
