Therefore, you can easily use and enjoy the macOS operating system on a virtual machine just by using the VirtualBox inside your Windows PC. These great operating systems are perfect for Mac users but what if you are a Windows user and want to enjoy these VirtualBox is the best option and it allows you to run macOS Catalina and Mojave operating system in your Windows PC with the complete functionality. These have many cool features including the Sidecar feature. macOS Catalina and Mojave are one of the best-operating systems of a Mac. Scale mode with xfwm4's full-screen option gives you a "native" experience.In this article, I will show you How to Enter Full-Screen Mode in macOS in VirtualBox. Success! I can now run full screen, scaled resolution guest operating systems. This means the window decorations are taken away and the contents of the window are resized to fill the display. Luckily, my Linux window manager (xfwm4, the window manager of the XFCE desktop environment) supports putting any window full screen, whether the window wants it or not. This window could be maximized, but it couldn't be made full screen. On my system, going into Scale Mode put the virtual machine into a window on my screen.
There's one quirk to it, though: Scale Mode and Full Screen don't work together. So it seems VirtualBox has finally added Scale Mode (available in the "Machine" menu along side Full Screen and Seamless modes). instead of the game's display stretching across your whole monitor, it stays at 640x480 pixels and is centered on the screen. If you were running a Windows 3.1 virtual machine at an 800圆00 screen resolution, and you put the VM full-screen, this is what it would look like on your 1366x768 monitor:Īnother example: even on supported guests, running an older game like Starcraft (which runs in a resolution of 640x480) had this problem too: if the VM is running Full Screen and you start Starcraft. Here is an expertly Photoshopped demonstration of what I'm talking about.
When it can't do that, it will just display the screen at its literal resolution and put a black margin to fill in the extra space. Guest Additions for supported OS's install extra drivers for the virtual machine, so that when you put VirtualBox into "Full Screen" mode, the guest OS will automatically increase its screen resolution to fit your display. One easy example is for running an old operating system (older than Windows 2000) that isn't supported by VirtualBox, so that there are no Guest Additions for it. I don't know how I missed this, but apparently VirtualBox finally supports a "Scale Mode." Bumped the timestamp to make this post new again.
