Figure 1. Application overview screen
● 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, 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:
● Search entry—User can search for applications by typing the application name in the Search text box.
● Multi-displays—This is only applicable when you want to set up multiple displays. The Application overview screen icons
are displayed only on the primary display. On the rest of the connected displays, only background is displayed. For example, if
an application is running on the secondary display in the desktop view, a thumb nail of the application is displayed on the
secondary display on the Application overview screen.
● Firefox browser—Starts the Mozilla Firefox web browser.
● Chrome browser—Starts the Google Chrome web browser.
● Quick Start—Starts the Quick Start application.
● Settings App—The Settings Application is the integrated application for system settings in both user and admin mode. This
application icon is displayed in the Application overview screen upon system startup in both user and admin mode.
● XTerm—XTerm is the standard terminal emulator for the X Window system. Use the terminal emulator window for X to
access a text terminal and all its applications such as command line interfaces (CLI) and text user interface applications. It is
only available in admin mode.
Desktop view—This is the desktop view for running applications. The desktop automatically switches to the Desktop view
mode when you launch any application. The system remains in this desktop view if there is at least one open window. When all
the system windows are closed, the system automatically switches back to the Application overview screen.
On multiple displays by default, the primary monitor displays the running applications and the rest of the connected monitors
display the background. You can move the application from the primary monitor to the rest of the monitors or from the rest of
the monitors to primary monitor. To switch between the desktop screen and Application overview screen, click the Show
Desktop button.
System lock—To manually lock your thin client, press CTRL + ALT + L or Win + L.
