Right-click on the Titlebar, select Show Toolbar. This works for me on VB v 4.1.4 on Mac OS X 10.7.1 aka Lion.

It works for you Daniel, because OSX has it's menu bar at the top in the 'panel'. Windows doesn't.

IOI, you removed the toolbar, right click on the menu bar to get it back. The Status Bar also works.

Ah, I thought you disabled the toolbar from the main GUI, not put the VM in scale mode.

My bad, I didn't look at the picture. Didn't know the OP was using VB on Windows.

I looked at his profile. This topic is in the wrong place as I see now. This shouldn't have been posted in the OSX Host section.
