About Window Modes

Exceed onDemand offers two ways of viewing and working with X applications:

Single Window Mode  All X applications you start are displayed in one window: the Exceed onDemand Desktop.

Tip:  You can change modes on the Screen tab of the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.

Multiple Window Mode  Each X application you start is displayed in its own window.

Working in Single Window Mode

Exceed onDemand Desktop opens when you successfully start an Exceed onDemand session in single window mode. The Desktop serves as the primary work space where you start and display X applications. For more information, see Configuring Single Window Mode.

Note: 
  At startup, Exceed onDemand Desktop appearance may differ depending on the startup mode selected. If you are using Exceed onDemand Client for Linux or Mac, XDMCP startup modes open in single window mode regardless of the window mode setting.

Working in Multiple Window Mode

If you enable multiple window mode, the Exceed onDemand Desktop is not displayed when you start X applications. Instead, each X application you start creates its own new window. The menus and information provided by the Desktop, however, are still available in multiple window mode. You can access them from the taskbar icon. For more information, see Configuring Multiple Window Mode.

Note: 
  If you are using Exceed onDemand Client for Linux or Mac, you must select the Passive startup mode to work in multiple window mode. For all other startup modes, single window mode is forced regardless of the setting.
