Set Windows to Take Up the Whole Screen

You can set Windows to occupy your entire screen, so it looks just like it would if you were using a Windows PC. In Full Screen mode, Mac OS X and all of the Parallels Desktop controls are hidden.

To switch to Full Screen mode, do one of the following:

• From Coherence mode, click the Parallels icon in the menu bar, then choose View > Exit Coherence . Then click the View menu and select Enter Full Screen .
• From Window mode, choose View > Enter Full Screen or click the Full Screen icon in the top right corner of the virtual machine window.

  

To exit Full Screen mode, do one of the following:

• Press Command-Control-F.
• Move the pointer to the top of the screen until the OS X menu bar appears and click View > Exit Full Screen . If you're using Mac OS X Snow Leopard or working in Parallels Full Screen mode , press Control-Option (Alt) to display the Mac menu bar.
• If the Parallels hot corners are active, move the pointer to the upper-left corner of the screen until the corner peels back and click Exit Full Screen .

If you are using Mac OS X Lion and one of the screen corners is set to show the menu bar , move the pointer to that corner and then click the Full Screen button in the top-right corner of the menu.
