When terminal opens, you will see a blank line of code that you can type after. You can just type “Terminal” in the spotlight and it will find it.ģ. Open the “Terminal” app on your Mac OS (this is mac’s command prompt software). Quit VirtualBox, you do not want your virtual machine running yetĢ.
Here is an extremely simplified explanation for how to do this:ġ. I have an 11″ and the perfect resolution for me was 1360圆30x32. Thanks! This worked for my MacBook Air also. Note that the name of the virtual machine is case sensitive.Ĭ:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage setextradata “Windows 8 Preview” CustomVideoMode1 1366x768x32Ģ. Let’s say I want to add an additional resolution 1366×768 to fit my widescreen to virtual machine “Windows 8 Preview” I just set up.ġ. Thanks to Mister Goodcat for this useful tip. While I believe it shouldn’t be a problem later on, you have a workaround to make Windows 8 work better with your own screen. You only get to set up with 4:3 ration resolutions like 1024×768.
Now that you can run Windows 8 Developer Preview on VirtualBox but since it’s not officially supported by VirtualBox yet you don’t have the “Guest additions” that add certain features to the virtual machine, one of which is the screen resolution. So this adds additional help to make the Windows 8 Consumer Preview look and work better in your VirtualBox. I’ve just tried to load W8CP on Virtualbox and confirmed that the Guest additions are still not supported.
A few comments left below indicating that this workaround works for Windows 8 Consumer Preview as well.
