Q: On the SOAPware Cloud Solution, how do I control the size of my screen?
A: A user is able to control the size of their screen on the SOAPware Cloud Solution by accessing the display tab, where resolution settings can be chosen.
Access the Remote Desktop Connection
Click on Remote Desktop.
Options
Click on Show Options.
Display Tab
- Click on the Display tab.
- Set the absolute size or choose Full Screen, and the Colors depth.
Some Considerations
- The fewer the colors, the faster your connection will respond. The greater the number of colors, the more attractive your screen will appear.
- Below are some guidelines for using SOAPware at reasonable combinations. We will start with 19" monitors, running a minimum of 1024x768, as this would be a minimum size for the SOAPware application. These figures are approximations, but give you a very good idea of where to start.
Ensure that your video card can support these resolutions before purchasing:
| Monitor Size/Resolution | 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1600x1200 | 1680x1050 | 1980x1200 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19" | OK | Good | Small but usable | - | - |
| 21" | OK | OK | Good | Small but usable | - |
| 22" | OK | OK | Good | Good but small | Small but usable |
| 23"-24" | Very Large | OK | Good | Good but small | Small but usable |
| 30" | See note below |
30": At this point, you will need to make sure that your video card can support these resolutions, but Dell has a 30" monitor that will support 2560 x 1600 (digital only).
