I'm using WM2003SE, and I was curious: in MBastian's screenshot, the image appears to have been shrunk to fit the screen. Is that a new option in WM5? In WM2003se we've only got the "Limit size of server desktop to fit on this screen" option. A shrink to fit option would be more useful.

I was surprised, Terminal Services ran well in full screen mode. Never used it before. But I still prefer VNC's shrink to fit, and the fact that XP doesn't log me off as a concurrent user.

I knocked this together yesterday. I've got so many other things I want to program, but I hate giving up on a challenge. Where do I get a "moon on a stick"?!

Ok, it works for now on my Magician. However, for now it's hardcoded to portrait and QVGA. Then I had to go to bed - I still couldn't sleep for hours thinking about it, and today I'm exhausted :(

eagle 1 I can get rid of the scroll bars, but how would you scroll around then? Perhaps I can offset them so they're only say 3 pixels wide? I normally have my scrollbars very narrow anyway, but I think you do need them to scroll around. I can emulate their function in a GUI/menu options, but that would be counter intuitive and more effort then it's worth to program. Perhaps I can add a menu option to toggle scrollbars optionally...?

I have to implement some kind of tiny GUI. Perhaps I'll stick with what I'm currently using (tiny bar in top left corner). What say I make it 10x10 pixels?

This button will show up a pop menu with the options that would normally be on the menu bar (those silly buttons for top left etc), full screen toggle and ok/minimise. I can hide the SIP, but you guys might have trouble bringing it back up (FYI you can use my SIPSwitch program), so I might map this as an option to the menu as well.

the bad news I don't have WM5, so can't test it on there yet, and I really do need to test it because of the way the menu bars are configured (FYI I also can't test my ToggleToday programs for the same reason). Unfortunately my better half won't let me buy another PDA yet, so if you want to speed along development, feel free to contribute to my fund to buy a WM5 device! Click here to make a donation. Every penny counts, so as little as you can afford! :wink:

In the meantime, if you use or have access to Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate or Beta 3, please PM me. I only have Beta 2, and the emulator doesn't work well with the remote tools, so I can't even emulator test.

SiliconS Isn't there a registry hack for displaying the full desktop? It's painful watching the desktop revert to full resolution after running at QVGA...

rilot How I did it? Lot's of head scratching! The terminal client is 1 parent and two child windows. And they don't like to be moved! They reposition themselves every redraw, so they required some not so gentle persuasion to stay put! If you use a magician, check out my VJLumos program for SuperBright screens hack. It took similar arm twisting to get the OS and screen to go superbright!

I'll try and knock something together to be half usable in the meantime. If you use WM2003SE in portrait, PM me and I can send you a preview build so to speak. I'll try to test it on the WM5 emulator as best as I can for now. Remember, if you've got VS2005 Beta 3 or RC1, PM me!
