Have second user in window and not whole desktop
OK - I have found a solution using Real-vnc.
Install Real-vnc version 5.3.2 from their download site. It is important to not install a newer version, as this seems to be the last version which supports User-mode for the server without a paid subscription!
As the server stops when a fast user switch occurs it is important to change the following setting (from the real-vnc knowledge base):
... setting the option "StopUserModeOnSwitchOut" to "No" in the Expert tab (VNC Server > Options > Expert tab).
- Quit
VNC server
(this is the service). We don't need the globalVNC server
service as we will use theUser Mode
. - Now switch to the other user and login
- Start
VNC server
(user mode). If you want to, you can add it to theLogin Items
to have it autostart upon login. - Switch back to your main user
- use
Screen Sharing
app or theVNC Viewer
app to connect tolocalhost
. It is possible that you have to set a password in the VNC server, but I am not sure (the viewer will tell you).
That's it - it works perfectly for me, even with multiple monitor setup.
What I didn't manage, was to setup that the viewer uses both monitors - but I can live with that.
