Sharing your displays
Sharing your displays with Desktop Transporter is very simple. A screenshot of Desktop Transporter’s Sharing panel is shown below:

Sharing display


As can be seen, there are a number of options that can be set, as well as a miniature copy of the displays on the Mac. (On Macs with multiple monitors, multiple small displays will be shown inside the box to the right.) To share a display, click it’s miniature version in the box. You will know that the display is shared when circular "radiowaves" appear on the miniature display, along with the text Shared, as shown in the next screenshot.

The Sharing tab also allows you to configure a number of sharing options:

To unshare a display, simply click on the miniature version of a shared display. The radiowaves should disappear, and the image grey out with the text "Not shared," indicating that the display is no longer shared. When you share or unshare a local display, you will see the counter for "Number of locally shared displays" under the Desktop Transporter heading change to reflect the current sharing status. Also, if you have "Include local computer in list" checked in the Desktops tab, you will also see your computer appear or disappear as you share and unshare your displays.
