(solved) Suggestion: Customizable "blank screen"

Post by Bithunter »

We have some users that see a black screen, move the mouse, and think the PC is freezed, so they press reset button.

A nice feature could be the possibility to set a message when "toggle remote input and monitor" is activated. So, when we lock a computer, the user see a "we are working on this computer, please wait a moment, it's not freezed!"

Thanks.

Redge, I wasn't able to get it work ... bmp should be in a special format/color deep/size/etc?

no special requirement, only official file .bmp
don't rename a jpg --> .bmp, is not enough.
you can convert a jpeg file to bmp with free picture converter.


mirror driver, if the case,
there a known issue with it and background.bmp won't show reported by user YY

don't know if solved with uvnc 1.0.8 and mirror driver
without mirror driver, no problem.

Thanks.
