Mac OS X in VMWare?

I've got this working in VMware Workstation. Just wondered if there was a hack to get it to go full screen?

Thanks

I fear this thread will be locked akin to all the hackintosh threads, but you can do it by installing the VMware tools from a VMware fusion installation.

It does involve a lot of faffing about though.

The lack of any gfx acceleration is one reason not to bother going full screen. Every animation slows many times again.

Full screen is Ctrl+Alt+Enter, not hard to find out so I assume you want the full resolution?

Go to finder, click on your HD, go to Library>Preferences>System Configuration

Copy the file "com.apple.Boot(.plist)" to your desktop, open it.

Create a new line after <dict> and before </dict>

Type (or copy) <key>Graphics Mode</key
<string>1280x1024x32</string>

Obviously, if the resolution you want is 1920 x 1080 you'd type <string>1920x1280x32</string>

Save that file, and copy it into Library>Preferences>System Configuration

Reboot the VM and that *should* be it sorted.
