Question - Single Click title bar

Post by todd_beedy »

First of all thank you for allowing myself and my clients such a good product. I have been a faithful user for quite some time now...

I have encountered my first glitch and hoping for a simple fix.

When someone using UVNC "adds a new client" to connect to a lister from the context menu, after the connection is made the title bar has the computer name in it.

I work with a person who, even though with YEARS of experience, he cannot accept the fact that he might have to actually LOOK up a computer name rather then just look at the title bar. I understand there is significant benefits to having the pc name on the title bar.

That being said... I have an end user base who is having issues right clicking to add new clients. I introduce SC!! Whoot end users applaud... and this IT guy cannot deal with it and his boss doesn't really care about the end users.

bottom line for me is I need a way to have the title bar of the SC app to load the PC name onto the remote connected window as it does for the "add new client" line.

First question.. is this even possible?
Second... is it something easy to do where a novice but learn-able person such as myself can attempt it?

Thanks
-Todd

The classic SC doesn't put the host name at the Viewer's title bar, and I don't know the way to change it.

But you may consider switching to a new generation SC, which using the UVNC as core engine, and the connection is in fact using the "adds a new client" feature, and I believe this will put the host name at the viewer's title bar as the normal UVNC reverse connection.

Thanks YY ... the latest Alpha Release can make use of existing uvnc services, to save the use of the tray menu ... but I haven't had much feedback to say if it works or not...
