I have read the documentation and still have a problem. I am not sure if my need is supported by Parallels, or if I am just not understanding how to accomplish it. Assistance would be appreciated
I have three VM's running simultaneously on my MacPro - each with a 1024x768 resolution. As certain activity in a VM occurs my user wants to change VM focus to that VM (no problem there) and go to 'full screen' display. Would like to use as much of the 30" AppleCinema screen as possible/reasonable (automatically). Video card in MacPro is ATI Radeon X1900 so up to 2560x1600 is available. User dislikes the large black border around the (current) centered 1024x768 window in full screen mode. I have 'allow to change guest screen resolution' checked, and I can go into the VM screen 'settings' and set the screen resolution to use as much of the monitor as I wish - but it is a manual process every time I go to full screen mode. And when switching back to 'normal' the resolution for the VM in focus automatically returns to the normal 1024x768.
Any way to do this automatation? A 'hot key' would really be great. Or is this a 'feature request' I need to send to Parallels?
Thanks in advance.
MacPro two dual-core 3Ghz Intel Xeon, 4GB RAM, OS X 10.4.8, Parallels 1970
VM's: Solaris10, Windows 2000Pro, WindowsXP HomeEdition w/SP2
