Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include a host computer system implemented method comprising receiving an indication of total requested display size of a remotely coupled client computer system. The method further includes automatically determining a number of display screens and a predetermined average display screen size. The method further includes an operating system of the host computer system allocating therein a display area to accommodate the total requested display size and dividing the display area into a number of separate portions equal to the number of display screens usable by the client computer system. The method further includes allocating each separate portion of the display area of the host computer system to a respective display screen of the client computer wherein each separate portion so allocated functions as a separate and independent display screen.
