UI Preferences

NOTE:If you change this setting after configuring a session, the appearance of that session may be unpredictable.

User interface mode

Ribbon is the default UI for Reflection. It provides a user experience similar to the most recent Microsoft Office applications, including features such as super tooltips and Ribbon galleries.

When using the Ribbon, you can have more than one document open in the same workspace. Tabs allow you to see which documents are open, and to change between documents.

Classic provides the familiar menu and toolbar interface. When using the Classic UI, only one document can be open in a workspace, and other features may not be available.

NOTE:All of the Help procedures are written for the Ribbon, the Browser, or TouchUx.

 

Browser provides a "minimalist" look and feel that is similar to the latest Web browsers. Multiple documents are displayed in tabs.

 

TouchUx provides a touchscreen user experience. (You can run Reflection natively on Microsoft Windows 8 (or higher) devices. For iOS or Android devices, you must access Reflection through a Citrix XenApp server, with the Citrix Receiver client software installed on the device. Reflection only supports versions of Citrix software that Citrix currently supports.

 

Classic MDI is similar to the Classic option. Unlike Classic, it provides a multi-document interface that allows more than one document to be open in a workspace.

Look and Feel / Color scheme

Select the base color for the application and Ribbon background. The color scheme does not affect your host screen, only the frame around it. To change the colors of the host screen, choose a different theme.

 

When the Ribbon mode is selected, you can configure your workspace with two different types of "look and feel" settings that provide different ways to access the Reflection Workspace menu The Workspace menu contains layout options, application and document settings, and a list of recent documents. It is accessed by clicking the Reflection button (when using the Office 2007 look and feel) or the File menu (when using the Office 2010 look and feel). .

With the Microsoft Office 2007 look and feel, you use the Reflection button to access the workspace menu.

With the look and feel of more recent versions of Microsoft Office, you use the Reflection File menu to access the workspace menu.

 

When TouchUx mode is selected, you can choose an operating system look and feel (iOS, Android, or Windows). This look and feel changes only the colors and style of the display. It does not affect functionality.

For the Windows look and feel, you can select whether to open Reflection in Full Screen mode.
