    Hello, I am searching for a FREE remote software, like RealVNC, with the "host blank screen" feature. This feature is present in PCAnywhere or GoToMyPC, but I would like to use a free software. If this host blank screen could be customizable (with my logo for example), it would be better. Any suggestions? Thanks. :)

      As a sugestion, create a huge black "always on top" window covering the whole screen.

        It will not work. The host must see a blank screen, but, from my PC, I want to see what I am doing remotely. If I put a black "always on top" dialog in the host, I'll see the same black screen. It is not my goal at all. I don't want the host to see what I am doing remotely (it is for kiosk PC). Thanks. :)

          Well, VNC is GPL, and this is code project. Open source only works when people like you get an itch bad enough to take care of it. So is this worth enough to either buy PCAnywhere, or modify VNC to have this feature? (If you are rich you can also hire someone to write this feature. There are bounty sites where you can make a pledge) Free software does not work if everyone takes takes takes, and is unwilling to give back.

            This is the general discussion forum, and I only demand if there is a free software (not GPL) which could have this feature. If I want this feature in VNC, I think I need to code a video driver which I am not sure to be able to (I am not a driver coding expert, sorry!). Then, before continuing my quest of the truth, I wanted to verify if a free utility with that feature could exist. Why are you so aggressive? This was just a question. :confused: Please, do not pollute this post with an useless reply if you are unable to respond.

              Sorry about the tone, I don't mean it. I just don't know of a nice way to tell people that free software still comes with a price.
