Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing improved rendering of graphical user interfaces for remote applications executing within remote sessions. A remote session client that renders the graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote application is configured to detect certain mouse events that would trigger window move events. In doing so, the remote session client may handle rendering the window GUI locally rather than wait for window move events from the remote application. The remote session client may be further configured to predict using calculated resize patterns how the window content image changes while the remote application's window is being resized.
