Why not make it possible to stretch a HVM window so it can be easily resized to the users need instead of only predetermined sizes ?

For example to view the content of two different HVM’s on the same screen.

Therefore, if it can be done, I suggest to make it possible.

I think:
HVMs get the window size from the desktop setting in the qube, whereas
standard appVMs have the window size set in dom0.
SO to do what you want, the GUI domain (currently dom0) would need to
understand the mouse movement on the HVM window, and reset the desktop
setting within the HVM.
The predetermined sizes are set by the "screen" resolution within the
HVM.
You can, of course, set the resolution in the HVM

GPU driver running inside the VM would need to support that first
