Hi, please advise with the following, I've never installed a MacOS before, also I don't have any Apple devices.

I've installed VMware Workstation Player 12.1.1 build-3770994 on Windows 10, applied a patch Unlocker 2.0.8, created a 80GB VM with HW ver.12 and specified a smc.version = "0" by applying to a vmx file, Installed vanilla 10.11.1 from a bootable ISO without specifying an Apple ID, installed VMware tools under it, then I've downloaded and applied an update to 10.11.5 through App Store.

I would like to proceed with Clover EFI bootloader installation for a couple of reasons.

The problem is that installed MacOS is almost unusable for me in spite of auto detecting the host display settings in VMware and "Default for display" resolution under MacOS system preferences: every objects are too small! The height of upper menu is almost half of my mouse cursor.

I think it is caused by a host system which have 13.5 inch display with 267 dpi (3000 x 2000), as far as I know this called a HiDPI (Retina) displays, Windows 10 default display settings size of objects are 200% on my system.

Please suggest if there are some suitable and "right" solutions because I couldn't easily find any.

Also I'm interested, if it's possible to pass a real DPI parameter to a guest system because anyone can decide to connect any additional display with a different DPI and while VMware window can be resized anytime, I think it should pass the DPI of current host display to guest system.
