Window Mode

Xmanager supports Single Window Mode (mainly used in XDMCP sessions) and Multiple Window Mode (mainly used in Xstart sessions). In Single Window Mode, you can customize the size of the root window and add a scroll bar when the X desktop is larger than your Windows desktop.
In Multiple Window Mode, you can select a window manager and the desktop background. Additionally, you can set panning and an auto-raise function to activate a window on mouse focus.

• Note
  In Single Window Mode, Xmanager server opens one large main window. Opening a session with 'Open in new window,' which opens in an entirely new window, and 'Open in new tab,' which opens a new tab within Xmanager, both utilize Single Window Mode. The system menu can be accessed via the title bar when 'Opening in new window' and via the tab menu when 'Opening in new tab.'
  In Multiple Window Mode, an Xmanager server icon is created in the notification area. To aceess the Xmanager system menu, right-click the icon in the notification area.

• Note
  The Window manager manages X applications. It adds a title bar, a frame, and system menu to the window. Additionally, it provides functions to change window size, to move window, and to close window. The local window manager looks like Windows and adds a title bar and a frame to an X application just like Windows applications. Remote window managers, such as dtwm, mwm and fvwm, are executed on a remote host and look different from the local window manager.
  Xmanager provides Automatic Switch, Remote Only, and Local Only for the window manager modes.
  In Automatic Switch mode, the window manager is automatically converted. Initially, Xmanager runs a local window manager, and when a remote window manager tries to connect to Xmanager, the local window manager is automatically closed. And if the remote window manager is closed by the user, the local window manager will run once again.
  In Remote Only mode, the local window manager is not executed. Run remote window manager to manage X application windows.
  In Local Only mode, a connection by a remote window manager is not permitted. All X application windows are managed in the same way as Windows applications.
  When using remote user desktop environments by running the gnome-session, startkde, etc. commands, the window manager must be set to Automatic Switch or Remote Only for a smooth experience.
