## How to increase screen resolution for macOS-Simple-KVM
2+
3+
_(Thanks to [passthroughpo.st](https://passthroughpo.st/new-and-improved-mac-os-tutorial-part-1-the-basics/) and [urcomputertechnics.com](http://urcomputertechnics.com/how-to-mount-efi-partition-on-macos-mojave/) for the tips.)_
4+
5+
1. In the macOS Finder, look for **EFI** in the left bar under **Volumes**. If it isn't visible you will have to mount it:
6+
- Open the macOS Terminal and type `diskutil list` and look for the disk/partition location of the EFI. (There may be more than one.)
7+
- Type `sudo diskutil mount diskYsZ`, using the disk/partition location name where you see EFI.
8+
- The **EFI** partition will appear in the left Finder bar under **Volumes**.
9+
- If you don't see anything in that volume after browsing to it, try the other ones that you found in `diskutil`.
10+
2. In the **EFI** volume, go into the `Clover` directory and open the `config.plist` file in the macOS text editor.
11+
3. There should be a section of the file that looks like this:
12+
13+
```````````````````
14+
<key>ScreenResolution</key>
15+
<string>1280x720</string>
16+
```````````````````
17+
18+
- Edit that to your preferred screen resolution.
19+
- Some odd/intermediate resolutions like 1366×768 may not work well. Try to stick to more common 16:9, 16:10, and 4:3 form factors.
