Maximize in Seamless mode not working for host windows

Post by **abcuser** » 25. Jan 2009, 10:58

Hi,
Windows XP SP3 as host and Ubuntu 8.10 as guest. I turned Seamless Mode in guest. When maximizing guest windows window maximizes correctly - window knows there is upper Ubuntu menu bar and Windows taskbar.

But when maximizing host window it maximizes ower Ubunt menu bar.

Why? Can I fix that?
Regards

It looks like this is not implemented yes:

Through the GA, the Guest is 'aware' of the Host taskbar. However, for the Host, VB is just another application it can draw it's own windows on top of. I know that in Linux, some desktop managers allow you to set margins in which no window will be displayed. I though there was a similar function in Windows, though probably with the use of some 3rd party application.
