When using the VNC Viewer to remotely view the desktop of a host computer the appearance or behavior of the window may need to be changed. If the display settings of the host computer are different from your computer, you will need to make a few changes. You may need to rotate the desktop of the host machine if two different types of monitors are being used. This is easily done by using options available on the VNC Viewer toolbar.
