[new] VJFullscreen terminal services (BETA)

[Guest vijay555]

Guys: I'm presenting a beta of fullscreen terminal services.

It works on WM2003 and WM5 in QGVA or VGA, landscape or portrait.

It's a beta. In that, it's got issues and it's not final.

I'm going to add scrollbar hiding and some navigation bits and bobs and some other stuff.

Usage is easy, but this is only for advanced users right now for reasons forthcoming:

Load VJFullscreenTSC. I recommend putting it in your Start Menu or assign it to a hardware button.

On launching you'll see a small (TINY) little indicator in the top left corner: some blue dots. Thing is, this thing overlays on the start button to be discrete, but occassionaly it gets covered over with the start button again and you lose it. If you do, bring up your start menu somehow and if you've got a task manager, switch to VJFullscreenTSC and you should see the little dots.

Ok, launch Terminal services client. (If you choose fullscreen TSC from the VJFullscreenTSC menu, it should launch terminal services automatically).

Login to your server and get into the TSC viewer.

Once you're there, click on VJFullscreenTSC. This should bring up a menu.

Choose Fullscreen TSC and you should be in business. I hope.

Once you're in fullscreen, you don't have the time, so I've stuck time and power on the menu.

Close TSC will allow you to end your TSC session.

Exit exits VJFullscreenTSC.

Ok, that's all hopefully sensible.

Please give feedback. Like I said, scrollbar hiding and navigation stuff to come, this is just a test for you guys to start using. Bells and whistles later.

If you like this software consider making a paypal donation to continue development.

I know it's got issues. Please test to destruction. A backup may be advisable but shouldn't be necessary.

In use:

QVGA:

and the menu:

Please download the executable from my Web site http://www.vijay555.com and leave feedback here or ideally on my forum

If you lose the dots after loading the program, it means that the start bar has drawn over the dots. The dots are drawn top left corner, and they're just a stand in for now, they'll be replaced by something more useful later ("navipanel").

If you do lose them, you need to use a task manager like wisbar, magic button, small menu etc, to activate VJFullscreenTSC. This should bring the dots back topmost again.

If this still doesn't work and you're sure you've loaded VJFullscreenTSC, then temporarily exit wisbar etc. I'm not sure what task managers you guys use, but because of where the dots are positioned (over the startbar) various skinning processes could draw over it. As I said, the dots will be replaced later.

Post with any problems and I'll get them sorted. I use SmallMenu and that works well to reactivate it.

Guys, I'm updating to v0.3

updates: Scrollbar hiding and some navigation control

When the scrollbars are hidden, use the VJFullScreenTSC menu to navigate around if you're in QVGA.

Issues: the startbutton is unaccessible until you scroll down, so you have to use the menu, scroll down a bit, and then use the start button. This will be corrected shortly.
