Reflection Browser	On the Reflection menu, choose Settings and then Reflection Workspace Settings.

UI Preferences

NOTE:If you change this setting after configuring a session, the appearance of that session may be unpredictable.

User interface mode	Ribbon is the default UI for Reflection. It provides a user experience similar to the most recent Microsoft Office applications, including features such as super tooltips and Ribbon galleries. When using the Ribbon, you can have more than one document open in the same workspace. Tabs allow you to see which documents are open, and to change between documents. Classic provides the familiar menu and toolbar interface. When using the Classic UI, only one document can be open in a workspace, and other features may not be available. NOTE:All of the Help procedures are written for the Ribbon, the Browser, or TouchUx.
	Browser provides a "minimalist" look and feel that is similar to the latest Web browsers. Multiple documents are displayed in tabs.
	TouchUx provides a touchscreen user experience. (You can run Reflection natively on Microsoft Windows 8 (or higher) devices. For iOS or Android devices, you must access Reflection through a Citrix XenApp server, with the Citrix Receiver client software installed on the device. Reflection only supports versions of Citrix software that Citrix currently supports.
	Classic MDI is similar to the Classic option. Unlike Classic, it provides a multi-document interface that allows more than one document to be open in a workspace.
Look and Feel / Color scheme	Select the base color for the application and Ribbon background. The color scheme does not affect your host screen, only the frame around it. To change the colors of the host screen, choose a different theme.
	When the Ribbon mode is selected, you can configure your workspace with two different types of "look and feel" settings that provide different ways to access the Reflection Workspace menu The Workspace menu contains layout options, application and document settings, and a list of recent documents. It is accessed by clicking the Reflection button (when using the Office 2007 look and feel) or the Filemenu (when using the Office 2010 look and feel). . With the Microsoft Office 2007 look and feel, you use the Reflection button to access the workspace menu. With the look and feel of more recent versions of Microsoft Office, you use the Reflection File menu to access the workspace menu.
	When TouchUx mode is selected, you can choose an operating system look and feel (iOS, Android, or Windows). This look and feel changes only the colors and style of the display. It does not affect functionality. For the Windows look and feel, you can select whether to open Reflection in Full Screen mode.
Arrange documents as	Documents in the workspace are displayed in tabs by default. If you are using the Reflection Ribbon, you can choose to display them in windows that can be tiled or cascaded.
Tab strip location	Specify whether to display document tabs at the top (default), bottom, left, or right.
Show Help on Ribbon	Select to display the Help button and menus on the Ribbon.
Show Close button on each tab	Clear to remove the Close button from the document tabs. Individual document tabs can still be closed using the Close button at the end of the tab strip.

Suppress Ribbon tooltip footer	Select to hide the F1 Help link that is displayed on tooltips by default.
Windows Full Screen	Select to display Reflection in full screen mode. This setting applies only to TouchUx mode.
Use alternate icons	Specify whether Reflection displays simple, “flat” toolbar icons that support a modern look and feel or the older toolbar icons used on previous versions of Reflection. When unselected (the default), the Ribbon, Browser, and TouchUx user interfaces display the modern, “flat” toolbar icons and the Classic and Classic MDI interfaces display the older icons. When selected, these default settings are switched.
User interface language	Select the language you want to use for the Reflection UI.
