Description
There is no reference in the User Manual regarding what max screen resolution can be, and no instruction how to get it. The intuitive, or shall I say the standard way, by setting it in the Guest, is not supported by VirtualBox. Rather, it is done unintuitively by setting Machine->Auto resize Guest Display (Host+G). Feedback on whether it has been done or not is then given by hiding a tick mark inside an icon.
It is possible to do so, and technically-minded users should not have a problem with it. Better usability is achieved, for more users, by
- spatially separating icon and tick mark
- making auto resize the default
- doing away with the menu item, having only an automatically resized window
- having an entry in the user manual
