That’s all how you can install VMware tools on macOS High Sierra to fix screen resolution and graphics issues. If you have any other question feel to hit a comment down below this post. Can confirm that VMware Player 14 works – but a few changes have to be made: 1. The link to the patch tool in this article (as well as in the “install High Sierra” article) is outdated, unlocker 208 does not work with player 14. You will need unlocker 2.1, f.e.
From here: 2. You can install VMware Tools, but it has no effect. The very last step after reboot is: Open the terminal in macOS and paste: sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled After reboot the display switched from 1024×768 to my native 2560×1440. Can’t move to fullscreen even after installing tools and executing above commands. But all daemons i thinks works.

First, thanks to Wikigain for this page! I have a different problem than others have reported.
I’m running macOS 10.13.1 and I can get VMware tools installed, but I can’t change resolutions in Display Preferences. I can go full screen, things like clipboard sharing and Shared Folders work, but when I go to Display Perferences, under Resolution “Default for display is selected” and if I select Scaled, 1024×768 is the only resolution available. I tried the Terminal command, sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool false but it didn’t make a difference.
I’m running VMWare Workstation 14, maybe that’s part of the problem? I’ve tried different settings such as enabling 3D acceleration and giving it more Graphics Memory but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
When I bring up About this Mac, under Graphics it says “Display 128MB”.
