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. A local or a remote X window manager controls all window functions. 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. In this case, you can enable scroll bars to make it easier to view the entire window.
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:
- Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure single window mode and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.
- On the Screen page, select Single in the Window Mode area.
- Do one of the following:
- Select Full Screen if you want to set the size of the server root window to the full size of the screen. This setting overrides any specified root size values and scroll bars are not supported. Proceed to the final step in this procedure.
- 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. |
- Select Show Scroll Bars if you want to display scroll bars in the window.
- If applicable, select Save Geometry On Exit. If selected, Exceed onDemand saves the Client desktop window geometry (that is, window position, size, and state) when you exit the server and restores it when you start the server and enter single window mode.
- 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.
