With MiniToolbar off, no way to control guest?
Posted: 21. Jun 2012, 21:06
I run an XP 3-monitor guest on a 4-monitor Windows 7 host for work (VB v 3.2.12). The XP guest is running full-screen with the Mini Toolbar on, at the top of the screen, and unpinned so it rolls up window-shade-syle. Since I have a fourth monitor where the Virtualbox GUI appears, I thought of turning off the guest Mini Toolbar (uncheck "Show in Fullscreen/Seamless" in General Settings, Advanced tab) because sometimes it sticks open instead of windowshading up. I find, though, that there seems to be no way to access the settings and commands that are available in the toolbar menus from the main GUI while the guest is running. The only option I can see available,either from the GUI Machine menu or roght-clicking on the VM name in the list, is Pause / Resume. Nothing else in the toolbar menus can be accessed.
Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there no way to access these commands on a full-screen guest, when the toolbar is off, other than using Vboxmanage commands?
