By default, at startup, ubuntu VMBox presents all the icons in a
particular size that is smaller than the actual monitor. But when I
switch to either full screen or scaled mode, instead of resizing
everything smoothly (like a vector image) it makes everything fuzzy and
grainy, and hard to look at.
When using VirtualBox the default resolutions are limited to just a few common resolutions. In order to enable the native resolution of your monitor you'll need to properly install the Guest Additions. Here's how you do this within Linux:
1. Mount the Guest Additions by selecting Devices ---> Insert Guest Additions CD image..
If you have switched to Fullscreen mode, you my not find Devices menu. Press Host + F to return to windowed mode to see Devices menu on the top. Host key is the right control key on your keyboard.
2. Run the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run script within the newly mounted CD. This newly mounted CD can be found in the Launcher.
3. Wait for the additions scripts to finish and then restart the Guest OS.
After you run this, VirtualBox should automatically resize the Guest resolution to the window size. Pressing right Ctrl + F will toggle full screen of that monitor.
