How to get Ubuntu window to fill the screen?

Post by kenatsun »

This is my first day using VirtualBox and Ubuntu within it (on my Windows 7 machine). All is going well, except that I need to find a way to make the Ubuntu window fill my monitor screen instead of just the center of it. It currently looks like this screen print:

All that gray space is wasting a lot of precious screen real estate.

Advice?

~ Thanks, Ken
