Virtualbox full screen

Post by john.recy »

Hello,

I have recently upgraded to 5.2.6 on ubuntu, and since then, the full screen doesn't seem to be a complete full screen: there is a pixel on each side which is part of the host. This is a problem for my game, which requires the mouse to be at the edge of the screen. I think it's related to the bottom menu, which appears when the mouse remains on the bottom for 2 seconds. Is it possible to remove this menu (so that the only way to leave the full screen would be using the keyboard shortcuts), or to remove this 1 pixel edge ?

Thank you

From what? What if you downgrade?

I don't think I've heard that before, but let's assume it to be so. Does this appear in all four sides? Because later on it seems that you focus on the bottom side only.
