Disable maximize function

Post by ABDev »

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it is possible to disable the maximize button on the top of the guest window.
I searched in the manual but I found nothing.
Thanks a lot.

The buttons are a function of the host.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

Can they be set ? I know the Close button can be, but I don't know for the others.

No idea. It would depend on the OS I imagine.

The only things I see about customizing the GUI is in Section 9.20 of the manual. If there's no mention of the maximize button there (I didn't see it myself) then probably there's nothing you can do.

However, if your concern is preventing the guest screen resolution from changing when the window is maximized, try turning off Auto-Resize Guest Display in the guest's View menu.
