Full screen settings control how the host system and guest operating system display settings interact when you enter full screen mode. In full screen mode, the virtual machine display fills the screen and you cannot see the borders of the Workstation Pro window.

To configure full screen settings, select Edit > Preferences > Display.

Setting

Description

Autofit guest

Change the virtual machine settings to match the application window when the application window is resized.

Stretch guest (no resolution change)

Virtual machine resolution settings are retained, but the display still changes to fill the full screen. Select this setting if you need to retain low-resolution settings, for example, when playing older computer games that run only at low resolutions.

Center guest (no resolution change)

The host system and virtual machines retain their own display settings when you are in full screen mode.
