I am running the Netremote client mostly on my laptop. The screensize I use in the designer is 480x640. So it is using just a part of my laptopscreen. Now I like to be able by pushing a button on my 'remote' to jump to a very small panel (f.i. 200 x 50). This then only shows my logging info from Girder as a small 'always on top' screen.
The problem is I can only set the screen size of the remote global in the system properties. Do I miss something or is it impossible what I like to build.

You cannot currently combine sizes.

-But- the next revision of NetRemote supports running multiple instances with profiles, so you could have a button on a small CCF which opens a large CCF, and vice versa.

Okay, that's what I want. Thank you for the information.

Ben, you may have answered a question I was about to ask: I am running a music server and have a couple of smart terminals around the house (w/ Windows Server 2003 running on the music server). I find that I can get Netremote to run on the server (locally) and can use a terminal and log in as the same user and use it remotely, but if I try to log in as a different user and run Netremote in another instance Netremote doesn't load. It just starts to load and then quits. I would like to be able to have several instances running so that person "A" can select songs for his/her zone while person "B" is selecting songs in another zone. Or at least one can work on their zone at a time without causing the other smart display (rdp session) to quit (which happens if they have to use the same login). Is this/wil this be possible? Hope I didn't muddy up my question too badly!

Yes Kim, this will be supported, as the new version will allow running multiple instances (right now it looks for an active instance, and if it finds one, it exits, which is what you're seeing).
