Open Citrix in a window on your home computer

Open Citrix in a window on your home computer

When you work at home and you want to use an application on your own computer it would be easier if you could just switch between Citrix and other applications.

It is possible to open Citrix in window mode instead of full screen mode.

  • Start Citrix and login.
     
  • In the next window select the Preferences tab and select Session Settings.
     
  • Under Window size select the desired size for the Citrix window.
     
    • No preference
      Use the default setting configured by your system administrator.
       
    • Full screen
      Resource windows are maximized to fill your computer screen.
       
    • Seamless
      Resources that support resizing appear in resizable windows.
       
    • Custom dimensions
      Enables you to specify the size of resource windows in pixels. Enter the required dimensions in the format width x height in the Custom size (px) boxes below.
       
    • Percentage of screen
      Enables you to specify the size of resource windows as a percentage of your computer screen. Enter the required value in the Percentage of screen box below.
       
  • Click on Save to store your settings.
     

Now when you open the Citrix Desktop you will find that it opens in a separate window just as any other application.
