Currently, the only option is fullscreen. This adds the ability for users to choose the size/resolution of the desktop FreeRDP window.

Feature:

  • Config menu option to change the desktop window size/resolution from fullscreen to include various common window sizes

Changes:

config.ts - Added desktopSize to config for default and persistence
Config.vue - Added winboat config page option, dropdown menu for fullscreen or window sizes
winboat.ts - Check config file to see whether fullscreen or window sizes

Closes #528.

I hope so, because currently Winboat 0.90 is useless except for Windows Desktop. No app will launch or if the do it gets hung showing my user ID forever logging in. Any action results in "another user is currently logged in" loop.

I've had to go to vrtmanager and VM a windows instant because Winboat just isn't viable except for the full screen Windows.

That issue can be fixed by downgrading the FreeRDP version you‘re using (see #704 (comment)). After downgrading the applications will start in window mode correctly.
