Kali Linux screen resolution changes every time

Hello,

I am using Parallels 17 and my screen resolution is set to "more spaced" - using retina screen resolution. However in the guest OS things are a little bit hard to read, so I am manually changing the screen res to 2560x1600. All is well, but whenever I reboot / restart the VM the screen resolution goes back to the full retina 3300x2100 or something similar.

I do not have the option to specify the screen resolution as linked here: https://kb.parallels.com/116141 which also seem to pertain to a Windows guest OS.

Has anyone had any luck setting it up for it to stay that way forever?
 
Hi Albert,
if you are using Gnome, you can do the following:
sudo vim /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.interface.gschema.xml


Find the scaling-factor setting and change it as follows:
<key name="scaling-factor" type="u">
<default>2</default>

And reboot, this will force Gnome to use a default scaling of 200%. If you are stuck at boot, press CTRL + ALT + F2 to start in text-based prompt.
