[SOLVED] full screen not really a full screen

linux-man · 05-18-2018, 09:37 PM

I am able to see the Zorin taskbar at full screen but the lake and mountains desktop picture is about 35% at full screen - why is that?
Half the os desktop is full screen the other half isnt't.
Has this happened to you before?

It sounds as if it might be a setting in the dialog for setting the desktop background, but I haven't played with Zorin for a couple of years. Commonly, those dialogs include options for zoom, stretch, tile, center, and the like.

Can you post a screenshot to illustrate what you are talking about? The dialog for adding a attachment becomes available when you click the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the "compose post" window.

Where would I go to find the "dialog for setting in the desktop", would I just type that in the search box at the bottom far left near the Zorin logo?
The good thing is that the internet browser is full screen and working fine.

Installing guest additions should fix the problem.

It could be too low of screen resolution in the VM.

The problem appears to have resolved itself, the screen appears to be normal again, not sure how this has come about.

Great to hear. Sometimes it takes a reboot of the VM to resolve screen resolution.

Although the issue resolved itself, you could mark the thread as "Solved" (see "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread).
