Apple - How to auto-adjust the resolution of a Windows 7 VM using VMware Fusion?
I'm using VMWare Fusion 5.0.3. With vmwaretools
installed, it's very easy to change the resolution on the Windows VM:
- go to Virtual Machine > Settings > Display
- there is a checkbox Use full resolution for Retina display
- uncheck it and the vm changes back to normal resolution.
Edit ~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences
file by adding following lines:
pref.autoFitGuestToWindow = "FALSE"
pref.autoFitFullScreen = "stretchGuestToHost"
pref.autoFitGuestToWindow = "FALSE"
disables auto fit for Single Window mode.
pref.autoFitFullScreen = "stretchGuestToHost"
disables auto fit for Full Screen mode.
Download the VMWare Fusion 2012 technology preview, this issue is fixed in that release.
