Re: How to change dimensions to 1280 x 720
You didn't mention your VirtualBox version, but 5.2.2 has a lot more advanced options for setting the display size. The commands have changed and I can't give you the exact one, because it depends on the VirtualBox version. But you can find more in your user manual (Help » Contents), ch. "3.14.1 Video modes in EFI". So, if you're in 5.2.2 the command would be:
VBoxManage setextradata "<VM_Name>" VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution 1280x720
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Hi Socratis
Thanks for replying.
I am using the last VB version (Versão 5.2.2 r119230 (Qt5.6.3)
I used the command you informed in the Terminal and something was processed but nothing changed. Need I to do something else?

- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM.
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).

Re: How to change dimensions to 1280 x 720
I'm sorry, but did you notice the command that I gave you? Did you read the manual? The command line that you gave was:
VBoxManage setextradata "HighSierra" VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution HD
VBoxManage setextradata "<VM_Name>" VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution 1280x720
