If you resize the window manually, you'll lose this mode, but getting it back is as easy as reselecting it in the Displays System Preferences panel. How well does it work? Well, the Displays screenshot above was captured in the virtual machine, and it's clearly a retina image, so I'd say it works very well.

Mac OS X, OS X, or macOS virtual machines that you create in Fusion can run on any Apple-branded hardware that uses Intel processors.

VMware Tools loads the drivers required to optimize a virtual machines performance.

That's it-you're now looking at a full retina display in your macOS/OS X virtual machine. Fusion creates the virtual machine, opens the operating system installation assistant, and installs VMware Tools. Open System Preferences > Displays, click on Scaled, then click on the one shown HiDPI mode.Resize the macOS virtual machine (by resizing the window) to your desired dimensions.Logout and login from the virtual machine.Open Terminal (in the macOS virtual machine), paste this command, then press Return: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true.Enable full resolution mode, as shown in the image above.Here's what you need to do to use your VMware Fusion OS X/macOS virtual machines in retina mode: Patrick's post has all the details I'll reproduce them here in abbreviated form, just in case his page ever vanishes. However, today I stumbled across this solution from Patrick Bougie-and it's brilliant in its simplicity. This makes the text and icons to appear small in the OS X interface.

Mac OS X running in a virtual machine is limited to an approximate resolution of 2560 x 1600, and treats the display as a standard DPI device. VMware even warns you of this in their Knowledge Base: On my 27' iMac, that meant the macOS VM thought it was running at (for example) 2560x1600 instead of a retina resolution of 1280x800. I did all this on a new mid-2010 Mac mini Server (with an external MacBook Air SuperDrive), with OS X Server 10.6.5 (re)installed on the upper drive (disk1) and OS X client 10.6.5 (and Fusion, many other apps, etc.) installed on the lower drive (disk0): i.e., with the computer used mainly as a client desktop rather than a server so, virtualizing the server OS might be the most convenient. вЂ¦well, I enabled it once, but turned it off, because the end result was too small to see: In Retina mode, every pixel is an actual pixel, not a doubled pixel. In all the time I've been using Fusion on my retina Macs, though, I've never enabled this settingвЂ¦

(I have a bunch of non-macOS virtual machines, too, but they're not relevant to this tidbit.) I use the more-recent of these for supporting our customers on older versions of the OS, and keep the really old versions just for nostalgia purposes. I use VMware Fusion often-I have virtual machines that span Mac OS X 10.6 to macOS 10.12.4 beta.
