when i have parallels in a window, how do i shrink size of window?

[SyXbiT]

I have a 24" LCD running @ 1920*1200.
it looks great in fullscreen, but i often like it in a window.
The problem is, it is windowed at 1920*1200 and takes up more than the whole screen.
Is there a way to shrink it?
thanks

as thte screenshot shows, I can't have parallels in a window, as it's huge (and I can't resize)

If you right-click the desktop in your windows vm, can you resize it that way? That should work.

yea this kinda works, i guess
but i was expecting something built in.
seems like all the parallels effort is going to MAC now.......

You can use the custom resolution option in parallels to set up what ever size you need.

Its in the edit menu.
