I'm having troubles with the display on my VMWare appliance.

I can change the resolution, but it's either 800 x 600 which makes it too small, and makes the rest of the window just black. If I make it something bigger like 1360 x 768, I actually have to scroll to see the whole display.

For example, If I'm starting at the top of the screen, there are scroll bars on the side that I would have to use to scroll down to see the task bar.

Is there any way to have the display automatically adjust to the window size?

  • I have the same problem with the new Appliance 2014 (used for 2015). I opened new file in Gedit and had to adjusted the resolution to bigger in order to see Open. Also, I cannot copy link from my Firefox to the Chrome in the appliance like I used to do. Chrome runs slowly on my computer, so I don't want to use it, but that's the only choice in the appliance.

  • Also, because I have to use 800x600 now (to avoid using the size bars), every single time I need to open a file on gedit, I have to adjust the resolution, in order to see the open button. This new VMware is worse than the old one.

Have you installed the Virtual Box guest additions if that applies? If not, does pressing Host+F (to make it full screen) work?
