4 <title>Configuring the Maximum Resolution of Guests When Using the Graphical
5 Frontend</title>
6
7 <body>
8 <p>When guest systems with the Guest Additions installed are started using the graphical frontend, the normal <ph
9 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> application, they will not be allowed to use screen
10 resolutions greater than the host's screen size unless the user manually resizes them by dragging the window,
11 switching to full screen or seamless mode or sending a video mode hint using <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput>.
12 This behavior is what most users will want, but if you have different needs, you can change it by issuing one of
13 the following commands from the command line: </p>
14 <ul>
15 <li>
16 <p>Remove all limits on guest resolutions. </p>
17 <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any</pre>
18 </li>
19 <li>
20 <p>Manually specify a maximum resolution. </p>
21 <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution <varname>width</varname>x<varname>height</varname>
22 </pre>
23 </li>
24 <li>
25 <p>Restore the default settings to all guest VMs. </p>
26 <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution auto</pre>
27 </li>
28 </ul>
