User manual

By default, the remote desktop window opens on the primary monitor. You can drag the remote desktop
window to a non-primary monitor, and the next time you open the remote desktop, the remote desktop
window appears on that same monitor. The window is opened and centered in the monitor and uses the
window size you selected for the display mode, not a size that you might have created by dragging the
window to resize it.
Use Display Scaling
A user who has a high-resolution screen such as a 4K monitor, or who has poor eyesight, generally has
scaling enabled by seing the DPI (Dots Per Inch) on the client machine to greater than 100 percent. With the
Display Scaling feature, the remote desktop or application supports the client machine's scaling seing, and
the remote desktop or application appears normal-sized instead of very small.
Horizon Client saves the display scaling seing for each remote desktop separately. For remote applications,
the display scaling seing applies to all remote applications that are available to the currently logged-in
user. The display scaling seing appears, even if the DPI seing is 100 percent on the client machine.
An administrator can hide the display scaling seing by enabling the Horizon Client Locked Guest Size
group policy seing. Enabling the Locked Guest Size group policy seing does not disable the DPI
Synchronization feature. To disable the DPI Synchronization feature, an administrator must disable the DPI
Synchronization group policy seing. For more information, see “Using DPI Synchronization,” on
page 81.
In a multiple-monitor setup, using display scaling does not aect the number of monitors and the maximum
resolutions that Horizon Client supports. When display scaling is allowed and in eect, scaling is based on
the DPI seing of the primary monitor.
This procedure describes how to enable the Display Scaling feature before you connect to a remote desktop
or application. You can enable the Display Scaling feature after you connect to a remote desktop by selecting
Options > Allow Display Scaling.
Procedure
1 Start Horizon Client and connect to a server.
2 In the desktop and application selection window, right-click the remote desktop or application and
select .
3 Select the Allow display scaling check box.
4 Click Apply to save your changes.
5 Click OK to close the dialog box.
Using DPI Synchronization
The DPI Synchronization feature ensures that the remote desktop's DPI seing matches the client machine's
DPI seing for new remote sessions. When you start a new session, Horizon Agent sets the DPI value in the
remote desktop to match the DPI value of the client machine.
The DPI Synchronization feature cannot change the DPI seing for active remote sessions. If you reconnect
to an existing remote session, the Display Scaling feature (if enabled) scales the remote desktop or
application appropriately.
The DPI Synchronization feature is enabled by default. An administrator can disable the DPI
Synchronization feature by disabling the Horizon Agent DPI Synchronization group policy seing. You
must log out and log in again to make the conguration change take eect. For more information, see
"Horizon Agent Conguration ADM Template Seings" in the Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in
View document.
