Kaspersky Thin Client personalization: administration group

In the Web Console, you can use policies to upload your images and set them as desktop background or lock screen of Kaspersky Thin Client. The following file formats are supported: JPEG, PNG, JPG. The maximum file size is 15 MB. You can also delete uploaded images from the Web Console.

By default, a standard background is set on the desktop and the lock screen of Kaspersky Thin Client. If you've set a background, you can reset your personalization settings to revert to the default background.

You cannot change the background in the Kaspersky Thin Client interface. Instead, you can change the background of screens only via the Web Console. The image set via the Web Console also changes to the standard background if the factory reset is made.

  1. In the main window of the Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles.
  2. Click the policy name for the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in.
