Hello all,
I'm running VMware Fusion Professional 6.0.2 on a new MacBook Pro with Retina. I run a Windows 7 VM, using a custom text size of 150%, in Fusion's Single Window mode at a resolution of 2796x1646. For the most part (usually applications are the problem, not Windows), this looks great.
Here's where things go off the rails... if I connect an external monitor (which I do every morning when I get to the office), the custom text size of 150% makes the text so big on the external monitor it's useless. I have to set Windows 7 text size to 100%, and then everything on the external monitor looks ok. Once I leave the office, I have to change the custom text size back to 150% before using the VM on the Retina display.
Another serious issue I've found is when using Remote Desktop in Windows 7, on the Retina display with text size at 100%, the text in my Remote Desktop sessions is so small I can't read it. Apparently I need to change the text size on the remote computers to 150%, and remember to change it back to 100% before I disconnect so my coworkers don't kill me.
I'm hoping there is a better workflow for all of this that I'm missing? I imagine these issues would be pretty common.
