    Hi, i'm using RemoteBox 1.9 on openSUSE 13.2.
    Everything works great except one thing.
    When i open Guest Display for my Virtual Machine, i can't resize it, it's always same size and to small window.
    I tried with resolution hint but nothing happens. I se in VM that resolution is bigger, but i still can't resize window.

    Is this some bug or what?

    Thanks

    What RDP client are you using? I'll assume you're using FreeRDP, and that you have it installed. How it works does differ between RDP clients depending on how smart they are.

    I haven't seen any way to dynamically resize it, that is by dragging the RDP window, but please check the following settings.

    File -> RemoteBox Preferences -> RDP Client:
    xfreerdp -g %Xx%Y --plugin cliprdr --plugin rdpsnd -T "%n - RemoteBox" %h:%p

    File -> RemoteBox Preferences -> Auto-Hint Resolution
    Enabled

    File -> RemoteBox Preferences -> Width
    1280 (or your preferred X size)

    File -> RemoteBox Preferences -> Height
    1024 (or your preferred Y size)

    Also ensure the guest has the guest additions installed

    I haven't had enabled and set Auto-Hint Resolution.
    Everything works now.
    Thanks
