Hi,
I'm running OS X 10.12.4 and Fusion 8.5.6 on a 2016 Mac Book Pro Retina/Touchbar.
The VM is macOS 10.12 with VM Tools (uninstalled then) installed.
I want to run the VM macOS10.12 as Retina display, but when I do (using Settings...), the display resolution is absolutely tiny and I can see no way to set it to a useable size.
I tried the command line hack:
sudo '/Library/Application Support/VMware Tools/vmware-resolutionSet' 1920 1080
but then the display was fuzzy and no longer Retina quality.
I've attached an image to show my issue and grabs of my Preferences - I'm pretty sure they are set the way they should be.
Any idea how I can get normal Retina display for this OS?
Thanks,
Pat
In addition to enabling full resolution in the VM settings, you also need to run this command, in the guest's Terminal:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true
... and then reboot the guest: you should now be able to choose the pixel-doubled, HiDPI resolution in the guest.

SvenGus - that fixed it!
Many thanks,
