Ribbon bar missing

avatar

I'm new to Remote Desktop Manager, I just started using it tonight, but a lot of options seem to be missing.

I've seen lots of screenshots on here with a home button and a ribbon bar. I don't have either and I think the option I am looking at (grid layouts) might be in the ribbon bar as I can't find it in the top menu.

I've attached a screenshot of what I see.

Hi Maurice,

That was actually something I already tried. I have never actually seen the ribbon bar as it wasn't there when I used it for the first time earlier.

When I click WIndow > Layout > Top Pane all that happens is that I lose the top menu entirely.

Hello Jon,

Please verify your the setting at File => Settings => User Interface => Main header

Thanks, it wasn't set to ribbon, which was confusing because I had set the "ribbon" to show under the window menu. I also had to work out that I had to set it to "classic ribbon" to get it showing properly. I think this is all very confusing and I don't understand why there can't just be a simple toggle in the UI to switch between ribbon and normal menu?

I now have access to the "window layouts" function but I still can't work out how to show my windows in a simple grid. I can see how to tile vertically or horizontally but not both.

Hi Jon,

The grid layout feature is currently in development and will be included in one of the next minor releases.

We'll notify you once it's completed.

Thanks, for now I discovered the live thumbnails feature which is almost exactly what I needed anyway.

Hello,

The tile layout feature is now ready and will be included in version 2024.3.20.0.
