    I was wondering if there is a possibilty to make Windows 7 available on multiple spaces in full screen mode?

    I know there are some Virtual Desktop managers for Windows, but I would like to be able to use gestures to switch between Windows desktops.

    You need to open Virtual Machine COnfiguration > Options > Full Screen > all displays

    Thank you for your reply, but my issue is different. I would like to be able to use one Windows VM on, let's say, two spaces in fullscreen.

    Dear Parallels Team,

    I just wonder if it would be possible to use "multiple spaces" as additional "virtual" displays (like on a multi-monitor-setup) in order to extended the desktop of the VM and have more screen real estate. Each multiple space behaves as if it were an additonal monitor connected to the VM. You woan't be able to have the whole screen real estate at one glance, but you can shuffle through it via "mutliple spaces".

    I would also like to have the ability to add virtual displays and use Spaces to control them. Would it be possible to get this as a feature request for the development team?

    second!

    Coherence mode is miserable for me.. full screen applications don't work right, too many glitches when trying to select windows that are behind other windows.. So i stick with full screen mode.

    Somehow today, parallels has decided to add an extra 'virtual' monitor so now i have full-screen mode WITH spaces. Not sure what happened, but I LIKE it!!

    Can this become standard? Does VMWare Fusion offer this functionality?

    I'm getting kinda sick of the bugs w/ parallels.

    That KB article is for Parallels Desktop 3 and was written in 2008?? None of it applies.

    HunterDG: Did you ever find out how this was magically enabled? I'd love to get this up and running! Thanks.

    Hi all ,

    It is possible to run multiple VM's in multiple spaces in Mac but not single VM in multiple spaces in Mac full screen mode.
