Suspended screenshot in colors?

I'm working with different versions of the same guest on a Windows 10 host. When I suspend them I would like one VM to show the suspended screenshot in color and the other one in b/w. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

Pretty sure the answer is "no".

Sorry.

On Fusion 11.5.7 on macOS Catalina with an AMD mobile GPU, the suspend of a Windows 10 VM is in colour.
On Workstation Pro 15.5.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 host with an Nvidia GPU, the suspend of a Window 10 VM is in colour although looks slightly washed out.

So on a Windows 10 host, you might want to try switching to OpenGL as the renderer on Fusion it is Metal while Ubuntu host Workstation Pro uses OpenGL for a 3D acceleration enabled VM.

You could try the following lines to the vmx.

mks.enableDX11Renderer = "FALSE"
mks.enableGLRenderer = "TRUE"
