windowed client

Postby Colby on Mon Nov 22, 2004 3:38 pm

Is there a way to make a windowed thin client? I want a little window on my desktop over here, like a ppc, to run my HTPC install of xlobby. The thin client is always fullscreen, no matter what I set the resolution too in the server.txt

Any help would be appriciated. THanks.

Yes you just need the following server text file

server:192.168.0.3
screen:ppcmenu
resolution:250x356
quality:100%
border:true
width:250
height:356
refresh:1000
navigationpad:true
bindbuttons:true
zone:1

I've been using the ppc thin client on mu pc desktop for a while now, it works well because there is far less data sent than using a full screen client.

Thats right, most of the PPC's are 320*240, very few are any more, the reason the pixel size for the thin client use is to allow for the borders.
