I'm running windows XP nativly and right now I have 7 vmachines running on my box. Mostly linux and 1 windows 7 machine and 1 solaris. My question is: (mainly just with the Linux machines) Is there any way to make the window that the vmachine shows up in larger? I'm runnin dual 22's and I want to maybe full screen my second and be able to have the space to work in that Linux Vmachine (eg. Ubuntu). I've tried changing the resolution in the display settings but the only options are 800 x 600 and 640 X 480. This may be a video driver issue but is there any setting in Vbox itself that can full screen one of these machines or am I boned?
Thanks

Re: Change VMachine Window size
If you install the guest additions (in the guest) you can control the window size using the mouse click and drag of the host+F to toggle in and out of full screen
