Configure Horizon Client to Support Reversed Mouse Buttons
You can use the Left Handed Mode option if the primary and secondary mouse buttons are switched in
your remote desktop.
If you set the mouse properties inside your remote desktop so that the primary mouse button is the one on
the right side, as many left-handed people do, you must turn on the Left Handed Mode option in
Horizon Client. If you do not turn on this option when mouse buttons are reversed, a single tap acts as a
click of the secondary mouse button. For example, a single tap might display a context menu rather than
selecting something or inserting a cursor.
Procedure
1 Tap to expand the sphere icon and then tap the settings icon to display the Horizon Client interface
tools options.
2 Tap Left Handed Mode to toggle the option on.
3 Tap outside the Options dialog box to close it.
A single tap now acts as a click with the primary mouse button.
Screen Resolutions and Using External Displays
When you connect the device to an external display or projector, Horizon Client supports certain maximum
display resolutions. Also, you can change the screen resolution used on your device to allow scrolling a
larger screen resolution.
Enlarging the Screen Resolution for a Remote Desktop
By default, the display resolution is set so that the entire Windows desktop fits inside your device, and the
desktop icons and task bar icons are a certain size. But you can change the default to a higher resolution. If
you do so, the desktop still fits inside the device, but the desktop and taskbar icons become smaller. You can
pinch your fingers apart to zoom in and make the desktop larger than the device screen. You can then tap
and drag to access the edges of the desktop.
Changing the Display Resolution Setting
You can use the Display Resolution setting in the Options dialog box to set the display resolution to a
larger value. Tap to expand the Horizon Client interface tools sphere, and tap the settings icon.
Screen Resolutions for Using Projectors
Use the Display Resolution setting to set a larger resolution for projectors.
Use the Presentation Mode setting in the Options dialog box to display the keyboard and an expanded
onscreen touchpad on the device while displaying the remote desktop on the projector or attached monitor.
The expanded touchpad and keyboard appear when you plug the device into the external monitor. The
device detects the maximum resolution provided by the external display.
You can mirror the entire device display on a projector or attached monitor, including the Unity Touch
sidebar, by turning off the Presentation Mode setting. If you are connected to a remote desktop and the
Presentation Mode setting is turned on, you can click Done to switch to mirror mode.
Use the Keep the screen alive during Presentation setting to keep the display from turning off after a
period of inactivity while in presentation mode.
