HVM GUI Window Cut Off

[marmarek]

Reported by xexe on 15 Nov 2014 04:07 UTC
Objective: see entire hvm screen at decent resolution
Issue: window containing client hvm desktop gui, with resolution at 1024 x 768, is cut off at the bottom using a native dom0 resolution of 1368 x 768.
Cause: top bar of window manager is consuming the vertical space that would otherwise allow full viewing of the hvm desktop gui.
Target HVMS: issue arises on both ubuntu and windows 8
Resolution: allow scalable hvm windows or have a side bar for the windows manager instead of a top bar
PS: Qubes is Qool :)

Also you can switch window to fullscreen (right click on title bar, then advanced actions) - it will hide title bar.

Adding any window content manipulation (scaling or so) would have big performance impact. Currently window content is displayed as-is, with minimized amount of even memory copy.
