Desktop guidelines
The classic desktop has a Dell Wyse default background with a horizontal taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Use the following guidelines:
● Icons representing available server connections and published applications are displayed on the desktop. If you pause the
mouse pointer over an icon, the information about the connection is displayed. Right-click an icon to open the Connection
Settings dialog box that displays additional information about the connection. The number of icons that can be displayed on
the desktop depends on the desktop resolution and administrator configuration.
● A server connection and published application can be opened by double-clicking a desktop icon. You can also go to the
desktop icon by using the tab key and press Enter to initiate the connection.
● Right-clicking on the desktop provides a shortcut menu.
● Clicking the desktop menu button, or clicking anywhere on the desktop, opens the desktop menu.
