Using Full Screen Mode
Virtual machines run faster in full screen mode.
If you want your VMware Workstation virtual machine's display to fill the screenso you no longer see the borders of the VMware Workstation windowclick the Full Screen button on the toolbar. You can also use a keyboard shortcutpress the Ctrl-Alt-Enter keys at the same time.
To get out of full screen modeto show your virtual machine inside a VMware Workstation window againpress the Ctrl-Alt key combination.
Linux hosts: You can switch between virtual machines without leaving full screen mode by using a Ctrl-Alt-Fn key combination, where Fn is a function key corresponding to the virtual machine you want to see. To find out what function key to use for a particular virtual machine, check the title bar of the virtual machine while it is running in a window.
Note: VMware Workstation does not support running virtual machines in full screen mode on dual-monitor systems.
