Using Remote Desktops With Split View
With Split View, which is supported in El Capitan (10.11) and later operating systems, you can ll your Mac
screen with two applications without manually moving and resizing windows. You can use Split View with
remote desktops in full-screen mode (Full Screen or Use Single Display in Full Screen option).
Using a High-Resolution Mac With Retina Display
When you use the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol, Horizon Client also
supports very high resolutions for those client systems with Retina Display. After you connect to a remote
desktop, you can select the Connection > Resolution > Full Resolution menu item. This menu item appears
only if the client system supports Retina Display.
If you use Full Resolution, the icons on the remote desktop are smaller but the display is sharper.
Using Exclusive Mode
Exclusive mode is similar to full-screen mode in that the remote desktop lls the screen. Unlike full-screen
mode, with exclusive mode the VMware Horizon Client menu bar and Dock do not appear when you move
your cursor to the edges of the screen.
To enter exclusive mode, open a remote desktop in windowed mode, press and hold down the Option key,
and select Window > Enter Exclusive Mode.
When a remote desktop is in windowed mode, you can also press Command-Control-Option-F to enter
exclusive mode. To exit exclusive mode, press Command-Control-Option-F again.
N If you do not press and hold down the Option key, the Enter Full Screen menu item appears instead
of the Enter Exclusive Mode menu item. You cannot select the Enter Excusive Mode menu item if the
remote desktop is in full-screen mode.
Using Exclusive Mode with Multiple Monitors
To use exclusive mode with two monitors, before you open the remote desktop, select Use All Displays
from the Seings dialog box, and then open the desktop and enter exclusive mode. To use exclusive mode
with a single monitor, before you open the remote desktop, select Use Single Display from the Seings
dialog box, and then connect to the desktop and enter exclusive mode.
To open the Seings dialog box, click the  buon (gear icon) in the upper right corner of the desktop
and application window, select the remote desktop, and select an option from the Full Screen drop-down
menu.
Connect USB Devices
You can use locally aached USB devices, such as thumb ash drives, cameras, and printers, from a remote
desktop. This feature is called USB redirection.
When you use this feature, most USB devices that are aached to the local client system become available
from a menu in Horizon Client. You use the menu to connect and disconnect the devices.
With View Agent 6.1 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, you can also redirect locally connected USB
thumb ash drives and hard disks for use in published desktops and applications on RDS hosts. Other types
of USB devices, including other types of storage devices, such as security storage drives and USB CD-ROM,
are not supported in published desktops and applications. The server that hosts the published desktop or
application must be running Windows Server 2012 or later.
