Control Adobe Flash Display
A Horizon administrator can set Adobe Flash content to display in your remote desktop at a level designed
to conserve computing resources. In some cases, these seings can result in low playback quality. By moving
the mouse pointer into the Adobe Flash content, you can override the Adobe Flash seings that your
Horizon administrator species.
Adobe Flash display control is available for Internet Explorer sessions on Windows only, and for Adobe
Flash versions 9 and 10 only. To control Adobe Flash display quality, Adobe Flash must not be running in
full screen mode.
Procedure
1 From Internet Explorer in the remote desktop, browse to the relevant Adobe Flash content and start it if
necessary.
Depending on how your Horizon administrator congured Adobe Flash seings, you might notice
dropped frames or low playback quality.
2 Move the mouse pointer into the Adobe Flash content while it is playing.
Display quality is improved as long as the cursor remains in the Adobe Flash content.
3 To retain the improvement in quality, double-click inside the Adobe Flash content.
Resizing the Remote Desktop Window
If you drag a corner of the remote desktop window to resize it, a tooltip displays the screen resolution in the
lower-right corner of the window.
If you are using the VMware Blast display protocol or PCoIP display protocol, the tooltip changes to show
dierent screen resolutions when you change the size of the desktop window. This information is useful if
you need to resize the remote desktop to a specic resolution.
You cannot change the resolution of the remote desktop window if an administrator has locked the guest
size or if you are using the RDP display protocol. In these cases, the resolution tooltip shows the initial
resolution.
Use Display Scaling
Users that have poor eyesight or high-resolution screens, such as a 4K monitors, generally have scaling
enabled by seing the DPI (Dots Per Inch) on the client machine to greater than 100 percent. With the
Display Scaling feature, remote desktops and applications support the client machine's scaling seing and
appear normal-sized rather than 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.
N An administrator can hide the display scaling seing.
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.
