Today I had to make some changes on the virtual machine I'm using with Mac OS X for iOS development, the scroll bars showing on the  right/bottom of the screen are totally a pain in the soul if you need to navigate through the screen.

I tried to change it using the system settings but there was no screen resolutions other than the default 1280x1024.

Today I had to make some changes on the virtual machine I'm using with Mac OS X for iOS development, the scroll bars showing on the  right/bottom of the screen are totally a pain in the soul if you need to navigate through the screen.

I tried to change it using the system settings but there was no screen resolutions other than the default 1280x1024.

The method that worked for me is described below:

1. Identify which is your windows screen resolution. (Mine is 1360x768)
2. Fire up the Mac OS X Virtual machine and login.
3. Launch the command line (to the right of the settings icon in the app selector)
4. Run the following commands:
   
   $ sudo sed 's/1280x1024x32/1360x768x32/'  /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist > /tmp/screen.tmp
   $ sudo mv /tmp/screen.tmp /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
5. Reboot the Mac OS X VM.
6. Enjoy!

Remember to change the resolution to your system screen.
