The virtual machine window consists of three parts:
 Toolbar - comprises buttons that can be used to manage the virtual machine and its
appearance.
 Screen - acts as the virtual machine's screen.
 Status bar - contains items for managing the virtual machine's devices and changing the
view mode and state. For more information, see Status Bar (p. 44).
When a guest operating system is running, you can switch between several display modes of the
guest OS window. For detailed information on the view modes, see Changing the View Mode (p.

Toolbar
The Parallels Desktop toolbar has buttons for the most frequent commands used to start, stop,
and otherwise manage the virtual machine and its window appearance.
To show the toolbar, click the button
in the upper right corner of the virtual machine
window.
Most of the toolbar buttons become enabled only when you start the virtual machine. If you
click a toolbar button, it becomes visibly pressed.
