For example, if you want to try the swift language used to develop iOS applications in your Linux box, you can simply create a specific VM for that purpose. Voila! you will definitely have a better Win7 experience on Mac now.Virtual machines came in handy when we need to create a testing machine for a specific project, or when we want to experiment with new development environments.
I personally used the ⌘ + ⇧ + 4 button to take a snapshot of the window and then see the resolution of the image file. So in this step you need to calculate that space. Why ? Because I have a dock at the bottom and a menu bar at the top which takes up some space vertically. What I really mean by that statement is - out of the 2560x1400 px of real estate available on the screen only 2560x700 px can be used by a window to show content.
So you need to get the maximum size that a window can take up on your screen (Without going into fullscreen mode). A window will not take-up the complete screen. In scale mode the VM is viewed in a window.
The VM will respect the resolutions properly only in Scale mode. For e.g.- Mac pro 13” and 15” Retina have 2560 by 1600 pixels. So here are some steps that you could try out to improve your user experience with Virtual Box till the time they don’t provide you with actual retina support.ĭetermine the number of pixels on your screen. You might then have to use a really low resolution which would look and feel pathetic ! You will keep trying out different resolutions and will still not be satisfied because sometimes the content would be too stretched in the horizontal direction and sometimes in the vertical direction. Virtual box unfortunately does not provide a support for retina displays (At the time of writing this document).
You don’t have any money left to buy Parallels or Fusion so you are stuck up with Virtual box for the time being.
