The VNC Viewer Properties dialog allows you to configure VNC Viewer while a connection is in progress:

(Windows XP. In this example, the dialog is in Advanced mode.)
Note: Some VNC Viewer properties must be configured before you connect. For more information, see Configuring VNC Viewer before you connect.
To open the VNC Viewer Properties
dialog, click the Options

see Changing the appearance and

The first time you open this dialog, it opens in Basic mode, and only one tab is available, containing the most common properties. Click the Advanced button in the bottom left corner to switch to Advanced mode and see all the tabs in the example above. Note that the Expert tab is recommended for expert users only.
By default, any changes you make apply both to the current connection and to all future connections to any host computer. To apply changes just to the current connection, turn off Use these settings for all new connections first.
The rest of the sections in this chapter explain the properties in this dialog.
