Would it be possible to make the 2-3 pixel border around the VM window go away along with the black surrounding rectangle? What about using a more mac-like toolbar and the hide toolbar button on the window titlebar working? I assume down the roat at some point, fullscreen on my MBP and my Apple Cinema Display will work? Drawing speed in windows seems a bit slow. Particularly with menus, i can see the highlight redraw. And last but not least. This VM is FAST! I love it so far, despite a few quirks.

Indeed, I also show a considerable graphics speed boost. I wonder why this is.

When I bumped the graphics acceleration back one notch, it said, "don't accelerate mouse and bitmap support." Which makes sense, because Parallel's drivers would take care of that fine... and yeah I notice a good speed improvement now after doing that as well. Thanks to whoever suggested it.
