Set Horizon Client to Fullscreen Mode

Horizon Client can display a Windows Desktop that takes up your entire screen. It can get confusing switching between your local computer and the virtual Windows Desktop in the Horizon Client. You can lose track of which device you’re actually interacting with. Setting your Horizon Client to open to Fullscreen automatically can help with this confusion.

Important: These instructions only apply to the Horizon Client software installed locally on your computer. Please install the Horizon Client on your device if you have not done so.

  1. Login to UFApps using the Horizon Client.
  2. You should see 2 options to select from: “UFApps – Graphics Applications” and “UFApps – Regular Applications.”
  3. Click on the “3 dots” menu button in the bottom-right corner of one the “UFApps” options. A menu should open.
  4. Click on “Display.”
  5. Select either “Fullscreen – All Monitors” or “Fullscreen – Single Monitor” depending on your needs. Be sure to repeat this process for both the “Graphics Applications” and the “Regular Applications” options.
    • Selecting “Fullscreen – All Monitors” will set the Horizon Client to use all your monitors if you use multiple monitors on your local computer.
    • Selecting “Fullscreen – Single Monitor” will set the Horizon Client to use one monitor at a time.
  6. When loading a virtual Windows Desktop in UFApps, a toolbar will appear at the top of your screen. See the picture below.
    • To exit Fullscreen Mode, click “Exit Fullscreen” on the toolbar.
    • To minimize the Fullscreen window, click the “flat bar” Minimize button on the toolbar.
    • To disconnect your UFApps session, click the “X” button on the toolbar.
