Patrick's post has all the details I'll reproduce them here in abbreviated form, just in case his page ever vanishes. However, today I stumbled across this solution from Patrick Bougie-and it's brilliant in its simplicity. This makes the text and icons to appear small in the OS X interface. Mac OS X running in a virtual machine is limited to an approximate resolution of 2560 x 1600, and treats the display as a standard DPI device. VMware even warns you of this in their Knowledge Base: On my 27" iMac, that meant the macOS VM thought it was running at (for example) 2560x1600 instead of a retina resolution of 1280x800. …well, I enabled it once, but turned it off, because the end result was too small to see: In Retina mode, every pixel is an actual pixel, not a doubled pixel. In all the time I've been using Fusion on my retina Macs, though, I've never enabled this setting…
(I have a bunch of non-macOS virtual machines, too, but they're not relevant to this tidbit.) I use the more-recent of these for supporting our customers on older versions of the OS, and keep the really old versions just for nostalgia purposes. I use VMware Fusion often-I have virtual machines that span Mac OS X 10.6 to macOS 10.12.4 beta.
