Systems and methods for providing a visible watermark in a remote session

A system, comprising:

• at least one processing element;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the at least one processing element to implement a method for providing a visible watermark in a remote session, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
• determine if a graphic update needs to be made at a client computing device during the remote session;
• generate a first graphic update message in response to a determination that a graphic update is needed to be made at the client computing device, the first graphic update message comprising a first string of commands for updating a graphic and an End-Of-Frame (“EOF”) command;
• identify pixels of the graphic which would be affected by at least one watermark if both the graphic and the watermark were displayed on a screen of the client computing device;
• construct a second string of commands specifying a new color value for each of the pixels that were previously identified;
• convert the first graphic update message to a second graphic update message by inserting the second string of commands in between the first string of commands and the EOF command;
• and
• cause the second graphic update message to be communicated to the client computing device.
