| 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>
