TS2log Remote Taskbar and Desktops themes
Administrator tools on the server
With the AdminTool, the Administrator can choose between 4 display modes when he assigns applications:
- The Microsoft Remote Desktop
- The Remote Taskbar
- The Floating Panel or
- The Application Panel
The Remote Taskbar, Floating and Application Panels are available for any connection method.
TS2log Remote Taskbar
When you assign applications to an user, you can enable the TS2log remote taskbar.
The TS2log Taskbar is extremely useful when a session is run with the Seamless TS2log connection program. The user can launch remote applications with one click on the TS2log taskbar and still have the full local Desktop available.
You can assign the Remote Taskbar when assigning applications to your users:
The Administrator can easily decide what will be the default Remote Desktop theme the user will see when opening a session. On the Applications tab, click on the "Customize Taskbar" tile:
- Only the Administrator can choose the themes for his users.
- He can choose to display the maximized applications in full-screen mode or not to overlap the TS2log taskbar as well as the Silver or Blue taskbars.
- Systray icons can also be hidden by ticking the hide systray icons box.
- Since TS2log 11.40 release, minimized buttons position on the taskbar can be changed (on top of the screen, on the bottom, on the right, the left side, or in the center).
By editing the users menu, the Administrator can add/suppress applications and functionalities. Customization of the users menu is easy.
The content of the users menu (located in Program Files/TS2log/UserDesktop/mainmenu.mnu) is modifiable by the administrator using Notepad:
Seamless connection program
On the connection client generator, the administrator can select 3 different styles of Remote Desktop TS2log Taskbar.
The TS2log Taskbar is extremely useful when a session is run with the Seamless TS2log connection program.
The user can launch remote applications with one click on the TS2log taskbar and still have the full local Desktop available.

Thin-client or any RDP based connection program
With the AdminTool, the Administrator can easily decide what will be the default Remote Desktop theme the user will see when opening a session. He has the choice between 4 different styles of full screen Remote Desktop. The standard Microsoft Remote Desktop can also be used if preferred.
Because these TS2log Desktops are full screen desktops, the user's display is entirely filled when a session is opened from dedicated thin-clients, any RDP based client, or accessed from a web page or TS2log Remote Desktop clients.
There are benefits over a standard Remote Desktop. It enhances the server security (no START button neither full control of the Desktop).
Standard Microsoft Remote Desktop
- The user has a complete desktop including Start Button and full control of the desktop
- To assign to complete desktop, just assign the Microsoft Remote Desktop application.
In order to change the Desktop themes, you will have to assign the TS2log Remote Taskbar and choose between the 3 suggested themes:
TS2log Desktop theme one
TS2log Desktop theme two
Default logon theme
Customized theme
For each theme, the Administrator can customize it and for example, display the Corporate logo. He can also add his own Desktop wallpaper by selecting one of the Desktop themes and by clicking on the Replace logo/wallpaper button to select your .jpg file, for example:
