Method of providing a remote desktop session with the same look and feel as a local desktop
First Claim
1. In a client-server system, a computer-implemented method providing windows of applications running on server nodes the same look and feel as windows of applications running on a client node, and providing remote virtual desktops with the same look and feel as the local desktop on the client node, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of server nodes;
(b) providing a plurality of applications running on said server nodes;
(c) providing a remote presentation protocol for accessing said applications;
(d) providing at least one client node displaying windows of said applications on a local desktop;
(e) communicating, to the server nodes, status information regarding at least one attribute of a plurality of attributes of said local desktop, by operating at least a first software module on said client node, said attribute being selected from the group of attributes consisting of representational attributes and behavioral attributes, and (f) receiving said status information from said client node and applying said status information to said applications running on the server nodes, by operating at least a second software module on said server nodes.
