• Display Transparency: The Screen Sharing area operates as if a transparent sheet
(or layer) were placed over the screen content. You can mark up the transparent layer
using the Transparency Tools. When selected, the Display Transparency setting
shows what is on the transparent layer. When displaying transparency, the menu
option changes to Hide Transparency.
• Erase Transparency: Erases all items on the transparency.
• Transparency Tools: Turns on the tools, which are almost the same in function as
Whiteboard tools. Transparency Tools provide two extra items: The Cut tool and the
Hide/Display Transparency icon.
o Cut tool: Cuts out the data within a specified area of the transparent layer and
deletes or moves it. To do this:
a. Click the Cut tool icon, and then click the point on your desktop where you
would like to start the rectangular cut region.
b. Diagonally drag the cursor to the location where you want to place the
opposite corner of the cut region. A gray rectangle with a dashed outline
appears.
c. Press the Delete key to delete the region and its contents.
Do either of the following:
− Place the cursor outside the cut region and click cancel to cancel the cut
operation.
− Place the cursor within the cut region to display the Move icon. With the
Move icon displayed, click and drag to move the region. Release the
mouse button to place the region and its contents at the current location.
o Hide/Display Transparency icon: Accomplishes the same functionality as the
Display Transparency and Hide Transparency settings mentioned on the previous
page.
• Hide Desktop Icons: Hides icons displayed on the computer desktop. When icons
are hidden, the Settings icon has an option to Show Desktop Icons.
• Restore Acceleration: Use this option to reset the graphics hardware acceleration
back to the setting it was before starting Screen Sharing. Afterward, the option will
change to Disable Acceleration. IAWC will attempt to disable the Windows graphics
hardware acceleration to maximize compatibility for Screen Sharing (Desktop or
Application Sharing). If IAWC is successful, the Restore Acceleration menu option will
appear. If IAWC is not able to disable the graphics hardware acceleration when
starting Screen Sharing, there will not be any option for Restore or Disable
Acceleration.
