Hi.

currently there are only 2 options for the screen resolution.

scale original
scale adaptive

original means the resolution of the remote connection
and adaptive is to "shrink" the remote desktop to fit to square screen on the client side.

the problem is, my desktop is a tiny monitor
and my host is a laptop .

so, if i do original, i am stuck with a good display but it is much bigger so the scroll comes up. that is not good.

adaptive makes it better but there are black bars on the sides which is wasted space.

there should be a third "fit to screen" option that takes the current resolution of host and displays the full image

here is the black bars. if the option to stretch or "fit to screen" was there, it would make the experience imo similar to "original" but without the scrolling.

i "really really like" the original resolution for some reason but cannot stand scrolling. adaptive doesnt have that nice feeling

i dont know if the screenshots help my case but the original looks so much better

Maybe "Scale original" & "Scrollbar" can help you.

Thanks! While this helpful a solution to adapt the resolution on the host screen ( and reset it on logout) would be much more convenient (like implemented in anydesk e.g).

@thorstenwagner Thanks, I've tried anydesk. I think it's a useful feature.

This is how it looks before I enable it (Full screen & stretch activated):

Then I enable "Auto adapt resolution" (Full screen & stretch activated):

It basically sets the resolution on the host to the closest matching resolution of the client. What is very cool is, that if you close the session it resets the resolution to previous host solution.

I can't believe 2 years later this is still not a feature. It's almost mandatory for good experience on mobile an remote pc's.
