Fullscreen not really fullscreen...

Post by lovethepirk »

I have used VMware in the past and when I choose fullscreen I got the entire screen filled with my virtual machine and only a centimenter of border was reserved around the edges for the host, but enough for me to navigate back to it.

When I use the newest virtualbox and I install ubuntu on it and then full screen it, it is far from fullscreen. There is a lot of black void space and then the boardering host machines taskbar. I wan't to get my virtual machine to take up as much space as possible.

Any help is appreciated...

Regads,
