VirtualUI App Settings

Thinfinity® VirtualUI is a robust development platform designed to enable the transformation of Windows desktop applications into web-based solutions with minimal code changes. At the core of this technology is a proprietary DLL that developers can integrate directly into their applications. This DLL injects a virtualization layer into the software, allowing it to run in HTML5-compatible web browsers, and extending its accessibility across various platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices.
