I have a windows 10 host OS where I have installed vmware workstation 12 player. I have an Xubuntu as a guest OS (virtual machine).
Variable 3 is the starting X position of monitor 0 (Default = 0). Variable 4 is the starting Y position of monitor 0 (Default = 0). Variable 5 is the width (X) of monitor 0 in pixels. Variable 6 is the width (Y) of monitor 0 in pixels. For Example, to set the virtual machine display resolution to 3280 x 2048: VMwareResolutionSet.exe 0 1, 0 0. Step #2.Download the macOS Sierra Screen Resolution VBox Code from the link below. Download Screen Resolution VBox Code; Step #3.Replace and edit the code that is named as “VM Name” to your macOS Sierra Virtual machine name, be sure it’s the same.
The complication is: the text is too small in guest OS and almost unreadable. The steps that I have already taken to rectify the problem are given below:. I have already installed vmware tools (which is confirmed by hovering on Manage - Reinstall vmware tools).

I have tried to manually set the resolution in the vmware before starting the virtual machine (by manually changing it to 640 by 480 and then to other settings). In vmware workstation 12 player, i cannot see the stretch the guest OS but I have tried to stretch the guest desktop in the guest OS. Note: I am using DELL XPS 15 with 4k UHD.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciable. If I am unable to explain anything please let me know, I can provide more details.
When trying to fix the Guest OS fonts sizes you can: One way: Set the installation as windows 10-64-bit and choose type as windows guest, then proceed normally. Another way: Customize within the guest by:. Right clicking the mouse to open change desktop background.
Enter fonts menu and set your font size above 20, depending on your screen. Then you can go to themes and customize the mouse pointer scale and default scaling mode for icons and desktop apps, etc. Lastly you can click on taskbar and change scale in properties.
