In the example above, I have 16MB configured for my Mac OS X VM which would give you a max resolution of 2560x1600. Note: Ensure you have sufficient video memory configured for your VM for larger display resolutions. For example, to set a 1920x1080 resolution, you would run the following command: Make sure to use "sudo" if you want the display resolution to persist through a system reboot. The syntax for the vmware-resolutionSet utility is pretty straight forward, it accepts a width and height argument. One thing to note is that there is a known issue right now for VMware Fusion 8.1 related to NAT and port forwarding, you may want to hold off on upgrading if you rely on this feature. You can find it under '/Library/Application Support/VMware Tools'.

UPDATE (12/11/15)- Thanks to reader it looks like the latest VMware Fusion 8.1 release now includes an updated version of VMware Tools (10.0.5) which includes the vmware-resolutionSet utility. Although this tool has not been officially released and must go through the standard release process, the plan is to include it in a future update of VMware Tools and will available for use with both VMware Fusion and vSphere. You will need to ensure you have VMware Tools installed and running before you can use this utility. As of right now, customers can get a hold of this utility by filing an SR with VMware Support and referencing PR 1385761. The workaround that has been developed is a tiny standalone command-line utility called vmware-resolutionSet which runs within the Mac OS X Guest and allows you to configure a custom display resolution. Given this is a non-trivial fix, VMware Engineering has been working hard on a providing a workaround which would still allow users to set a custom resolution from within the GuestOS. The reason for this behavior is that Apple has changed the way in which it remembers previously used modes and would automatically fall back to this versus retaining the custom mode using the Display Preferences. With this tool, I was able to quickly set my screen resolution to the native resolution! But it was…ahh not all great.For customers who are running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or newer in a Virtual Machine, you may have noticed that you can no longer set a custom display resolution beyond the default 1024x768 in either VMware Fusion and vSphere, regardless of the amount of video memory that has been allocated. Display Menu Jumps In To Save The Dayĭisplay Menu is an app that lets you configure your macbook display with any resolution. Even if there are only a select few who will find it useful, they should still make it available. One day, I went to scale the resolution to the native resolution, but could not find an option to do so! It seemed really odd to me that Apple does not offer the option to adjust the resolution to match the native display resolution.

I own a macbook pro 16" (you can call me spoiled or lucky :P), and the native resolution for this model is 3072 x 1920. If you hover over an option, you will see the resolution that it scales to. You can choose “default for display” or select from a list of scaled options: Ranging from “Larger Text” to “More Space”. If you own a mac or have previous experiences with one then you probably know that Apple offers a list of options for configuration the resolution of your display.
