The ThinLinux desktop is called the Application Overview screen. This is the default ThinLinux screen that is displayed after you log in to
the thin client (without auto-start of any connections or application).
• Application Icons— To access the application icons, click the dots on the lower-right corner of the screen. You can start the
application by clicking a particular application icon. If there are more application icons, then the icons are displayed on multiple pages.
• Taskbar— The taskbar is displayed at the bottom of the Application Overview screen (ThinLinux Desktop).
The Application Overview Screen consists of the following screen elements:

• Dual Monitor — This is applicable when you are connected to the dual monitor. The Application overview screen icons are displayed
only on the primary monitor. On the secondary monitor, only background is displayed. If an application is running on the secondary
monitor in the Desktop View, then a thumb nail of the application is displayed on the secondary monitor in the Application overview
screen.
• Firefox— Opens the Firefox Web Browser.

appears in the System Application Overview screen upon system startup in both user and admin mode.
