I am trying viewer on Linux Mint to host on Windows10. I can connect fine but I just cant get the screen sizing correct.
Is there a way to hide the Remote Utilities title bar on the viewer window?
If I swap to full screen what I see is too big for the host window with the Win10 toolbar off the bottom. If i go to full screen stretch i get the full window but black bars left and right to adjust for the lack of high due to RU title bar.
Is there a way to get proper full screen so it looks like i am actually in front of the host?

Hello Richard,
Thank you for your message.
The black bars on the side of the screen are caused by the screen resolution difference between your Host and Viewer. Unfortunately, Remote Utilities has no control over the screen resolution of the remote Host, so there's currently no way to get rid of the black bars. The only solution we could suggest is using the "Fullscreen Stretch" view mode. However, we plan to implement a feature that would allow adjusting remote screen resolution within your Viewer, so that it's possible to match up remote screen with a local one. Hopefully it will be available in one of our future updates, but there's no specific ETA on it yet.
Let us know if you have other questions.
