Menubar not showing

Post by Sheer-Gold »

Menubar is not showing
It should be at the top, but it's not there.

Anyone know how to make it show up?

Open the Settings for your VM
Click User Interface in the toolbar

Now it gets tricky - this interface is very un-mac-like but you should be able to figure out how to re-enable the menus.

In general you need to click on the menu name and then optionally enable/disable the items within each menu.

One other possibility, the VM window is in Scaled Mode, which hides all menu and status bars.
The Host Key - C combination should bring the window out of Scaled Mode.
