JollysFastVNC has been enhanced to be a fully functional VNC client to enable people using ScreenRecycler. JollysFastVNC is still in the early stages of development, even though usable and fast.
Usage
JollysFastVNC starts up with a list of vnc servers. Bonjour announced servers will get added to the list automatically. You can add your servers that do not have Bonjour running with the ` ` button. Just type the network-name or ip-address.
Clicking the connect button will establish a connection to the server and will view that server in a window: toggle with cmd-f for fullscreen or cmd-0 for 50% size, cmd-1 for 100% and cmd-2 for 200%.
CMD-q will quit the program ( except you have a client open ). You can use CMD-tab to have the vnc-window as backdrop. Clicking on the backdrop will bring it up front.
NOTE: JollysFastVNC 1.22 can also be downloaded via the Mac App Store To download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
