Changing the Anyware Software Client Window Mode

You can use the Anyware Software Client in full-screen or windowed mode. Full-screen mode is recommended in most cases.

Activating Full Screen Modes

The Anyware Software Client provides two full-screen modes: one monitor and all monitors.

To switch from windowed mode to full-screen mode:

  • To use one full-screen display, select View > Show Fullscreen One Monitor.

All open windows and applications will be moved to a single full-screen display. This is equivalent to disconnecting all but one monitor from a physical host.

  • To use all available full-screen displays, select View > Show Fullscreen All Monitors.

This mode shows full-screen displays on all client monitors.

Keyboard shortcut

You can also enter full-screen mode by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Enter while in windowed mode. The shortcut will activate whichever full-screen mode was used last, or all monitors if no previous selection was made.

To switch from Fullscreen One Monitor to Fullscreen All Monitors mode:

  1. Reveal the menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of a client display.
  2. Select View > Show Fullscreen All Monitors.

To switch from Fullscreen All Monitors to Fullscreen One Monitor mode:

  1. Reveal the menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of a client display.
  2. Select View > Show Fullscreen One Monitor.

Persistent Display Topology

Depending on the display topology mode you have selected, for example Fullscreen One Monitor, if you disconnect and then reconnect to the session, it will maintain that same mode upon reconnection. The state and mode will be preserved.

Miminizing the Anyware Software Client from a Full-screen Mode

To minimize a software client in full-screen mode:

  1. Reveal the menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of any display.
  2. Select View > Minimize Client.

Keyboard shortcut

You can also minimize the client by pressing Ctrl+Alt+m while in any full-screen mode.

Activating Windowed Mode

To switch from full-screen mode to windowed mode:

  1. Reveal the menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of any display.
  2. Select View > Leave Fullscreen.

Keyboard shortcut

You can also enter windowed mode by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Enter while in any full-screen mode.
