Table 2‑2. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.monitors
--monitors= numbered list Allows you to specify which adjacent monitors to
use for Horizon Client. Use --allmonitors (or
view.allMonitors) to specify that you want to
use full screen on all monitors, and use
--monitors=numbered list to specify which
subset of the monitors to use.
Example of using the command-line option to
specify the first and second monitors in a
configuration where 3 monitors are set next to
each other horizontally:
--allmonitors --monitors="1,2" `
To help distinguish which physical monitor is
associated with a monitor icon in the client UI, a
rectangle is displayed at the top left corner of the
physical monitor you had specified to use. The
rectangle has the corresponding color and number
that is used in the icon for the chosen monitor.
view.noMenuBar --nomenubar
Suppresses the Horizon Client menu bar when the
client is in full screen mode, so that users cannot
access menu options to log off of, reset, or
disconnect from a View desktop. Use this option
when configuring kiosk mode.
If you are setting the configuration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.nonInteractive
-q, --nonInteractive Hides unnecessary UI steps from end users by
skipping the screens that are specified in the
command line or configuration properties.
If you are setting the configuration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
Setting this property to "TRUE" is the equivalent of
setting the view.autoConnectBroker and
view.autoConnectDesktop properties to
"TRUE".
Example of using the command-line option:
--nonInteractive
