  • BASS Application Sharing System
    BASS Application Sharing System Omer Boyaci and Henning Schulzrinne Department of Computer Science, Columbia University fboyaci,[email protected] 1 Introduction Application and desktop sharing allows two or more people to col- laborate on a single document, drawing or project in real-time. We have developed an application and desktop sharing platform called BASS which is efficient, reliable and independent of the operating system. It scales well via heterogenous multicast, sup- ports all applications, and features true application sharing. Any application can be shared, including word processors, browsers, Powerpoint or video players. Also, the participants do not need to install the application. BASS is based on a client-server architec- ture. The server is the computer which runs the shared application. Clients receive screen updates from the server and send keyboard and mouse events to the server. Figure 2: BASS Figure 3: UVNC formation from other non-shared applications. Shared application may open new child windows such as those for selecting options or fonts. UltraVNC and MAST failed to share child windows. A true application sharing system must blank all the non-shared windows and must transfer all the child windows of the shared application. Figure 1: Desktop with overlapping windows Figure 4: Mast client view Application sharing differs from desktop sharing. In desktop For example, if a user wants to share only the “Internet Ex- sharing, a server distributes any screen update. In application shar- plorer” application, which has the title “Windows Live Hotmail - ing, the server distributes screen updates if and only if they belong Windows Internet Explorer”, from the desktop seen in (Figure 1), to the shared application’s windows.

  • Custom Static Tiles in the Mobility Center
    CZ 07/2011 Windows Vista and Windows 7: Custom Static Tiles in the Mobility Center This note describes how to generate your own homemade tiles to perform any command. These are static tiles, which only provide the functionality to perform two actions by pushing the button or the icon. Be aware, that you have to edit the Windows registry and that this can potentially damage your Windows installation! So only perform the following steps, if you really know what you are doing! Requirements Windows Vista or 7 How it works The Windows Mobility Center contains system defined “Tiles” for the quick control of hard- and software, e.g. screen brightness, monitor connection. On a laptop the mobility center is opened by pressing windows-key+x. Figure 1: The Windows Mobility Center The above screen shot shows the mobility center with the additional tiles (lower row with three tiles). The buttons and icons open editors, the control panels and sound controls. These are the tiles described in this note. The following description is based on the Microsoft document: Windows Mobility Center – Extensibility Version 3.1 (2006). In the following I assume, that a program with the required resources resides in %ProgramFiles%\MyTiles\. CZ 07/2011 Here the required steps: 1. Generate a DLL or EXE file (provided here MyTiles.dll) which contains the resources for a. String to display as a header for the new tiles b. Icons c. Strings to be displayed on the tile d. The ID of the above resources 2. Create a sub-key of type REG_EXPAND_SZ: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MobilePC\MobilityCenter\OEMName.
