Configuring Single Window Mode

If single window mode is enabled, every X application you start appears in a single Exceed onDemand window (Exceed onDemand Desktop) on your display. You can also specify the root window size of the X server. You may need to make the window size larger than your screen for certain applications to run.

If you have more than one monitor attached to your machine, you can view oversized root windows across two or more of them.

To configure Single Window Mode:

  1. Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure single window mode and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.
  2. On the Screen page, select Single in the Window Mode area.
  3. In the Root Size area, specify the width and height of the X server root window (in pixels). The maximum root window size is 8192 x 8192 pixels. A width or height of zero makes the root window size equal to the size of your screen.

If you have two monitors next to one another, each with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels for a combined resolution of 1600 x 600 pixels, setting the width to 1600 and the height to 600 (the combined resolution) will set the root window to display on both monitors as if they were one.
Note: 
  For multiple monitor configurations, all monitors must be set to the same resolution (width, height, and color format). For example, if one monitor is set to 640 x 480 pixels with 256 colors, all other monitors must be configured this way.
  1. You can enable Save Geometry On Exit to save the Client desktop window position, size, and state when you exit so that it is restored to these parameters when you next start the server and use single window mode.
  2. Click OK to save changes and return to the previous dialog box or click Apply and select another tab to continue modifying the Xconfig file.
