SC and remove background?

Post by bobo12 »

Is it possible to disable the user's background if they are using SC?

Re: SC and remove background?

Sorry to dig up a really old post, but...

I'm using SC_VNC_7z and tested it out yesterday and everything works fine - except it's fairly slow. I noticed that it loaded the background image of the remote PC. I assume this is what caused the session to lag.

I'm using the tabbed_viewer and I noticed if I used it in full-screen mode, it would lag, but if I shrunk the window down in size inside of a tab, it seemed to work much quicker.

I was just wondering if there's a way to manually disable the user's background - before or after connecting to their PC?

Thanks

Thanks redge. Are you saying that if the remote PC doesn't have the same type of background (eg: .jpg) as the PC it's connecting to, then it'll load and show the remote PC's background picture?
