CHAPTER 2
USING SKYLITE
Customizing the System
The following sections describe how you can set your screen in different ways to suit the
way you work.
Resizing the Screen
The standard screen setting is for SkyLite to be set to maximum with a toolbar and status
bar. If SkyLite is not maximized, you can click the Maximize button. This is a standard
Windows button in the top right hand corner of any Windows program.
You can view the screen with or without the toolbar and the status bar.
You can expand SkyLite’s window to the full size of your screen; this is called Ultimizing
the screen. This is useful if you want to use the session as a traditional terminal, without
Windows features. You can also select whether the Ultimized screen has a toolbar and
status bar or not.
Ultimizing the screen
To Ultimize the screen:
1. Press Alt+Enter to switch SkyLite’s window between full screen mode and
normal window size. You can also select the Full Screen option from the System
menu to Ultimize the screen, but to reset the screen, you will need to press
Alt+Enter.
Note: Ultimize “loses” the title bar and menu bar.
2. You can also resize the screen by dragging the thin borders at the top, bottom
and sides of the screen. If you do this, it is recommended that you configure the
font you use to Maintain Aspect Ratio, otherwise the text on your screen could
look stretched.
Configuring the toolbar
To view the toolbar:
Enable the View Toolbar option in the Configure menu.
Showing/hiding SkyLite’s status bar
To display SkyLite’s status bar, use the View Status Bar option from the Configure menu.
SkyLite’s status bar appears below the emulation screen.
Resetting the Screen
Select the Reset Screen option from the System menu. It is equivalent to switching a
terminal off and on. This facility is useful if communications with the host have been
interrupted and seem unable to continue.
Note: Host applications can also suspend communications by sending XOFF characters.
Often a simple Ctrl+Q will restart communications.
Resetting the Network
To reset your network connection:
Select the Reset Network option from the System menu. Use this option if your network
connection is disrupted for some reason. If you have to reset the network, your
connection will be terminated and you will have to log on again.
