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