MacOS Sierra (version 10.12) is the thirteenth major release of MacOS (previously OS X), Apple Inc.’s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. The successor to OS X El Capitan, it is the first version of the operating system issued under the June 2016 rebranding as MacOS. Sierra is the first version of MacOS since OS X Mountain Lion, released in 2012, that does not run on all computers that the previous version supported. Developers have created workarounds to install MacOS Sierra on some Mac computers that are no longer officially supported.
It has come with lots of new features. Click read more about MacOS sierra in Wikipedia. Also if you want to install on VMware click on given link.
Hi, I'm using a Smart TV as my Monitor, I'm using MacBook Air and VirtualBox 5.1.22 on Host Side with macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and macOS Sierra 10.12.5 Guest. I was looking for on Google/and this forum and was trying. I want to use full Screen with 1920x1080 resolution, is it not possible? That's not full screen, that's a different resolution. That will give you 1920x1200, sure, but in a windowed mode, which includes title bar and status bar.
MacOS Sierra is the latest version of Apple's operating system, which of course cannot be installed on just any computer. The most popular free Windows software for virtual machines is VMware Player and VirtualBox. In this article we'll see how you can create a Mac OS X VM with VirtualBox.

And it has to fit in an even smaller space because of the Dock (size varies). So, you're going to end up with a VM in a window that has scroll bars, both vertical and horizontal. Not what I think of when I'm thinking Full-Screen.
For completion, here are the rest of the available resolutions as of this writing, from ch.: VBoxManage setextradata ' ' VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode N where N - Resolution 0 - 640 x 480 1 - 800 x 600 2 - 1024 x 768 3 - 1280 x 1024 4 - 1440 x 900 5 - 1920 x 1200.

I am doing so and it works fine. Posts: 48 Joined: 14. Nov 2014, 18:54 Primary OS: Mac OS X other VBox Version: PUEL Guest OSses: OPENSTEP, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Windows. Here working with macOS Sierra 10.12.6 guest and VirtualBox 5.2.6, the only thing that worked was: Code: $ vboxmanage setextradata 'Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra' 'VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution' '1920x1080' I've tried the EfiGopMode 5 and also setting the com.apple.Boot.plist as suggested in other posts.
But nothing has worked on my scenario. By chance I found this alternate solution in a not popular answer in StackExchange Superuser under the question 'Change MacOS X guest screen resolution for VirtualBox' by the user cyptus, and some comments indicate it works in High Sierra too. @IOOI: Thanks for the tip about Full-screen mode (Host-F) simple and effective. And thanks to the rest of the contributors, awesome job in this forum! Posts: 2 Joined: 22. Jan 2018, 19:21.
