I just started using genymotion and I really like it.
One thing that is frustrating me is that emulators take a lot of screen space and are contained within scrolling window.. which makes it less convenient to use
I tried to change screen resolution or look for some kind of option myself but with no luck
is there "scale to real device size" option like in sdk emulator?
UPDATE
when I start genymotion binary, get the following in the console
~/coding/genymotion$ sudo ./genymotion Genymotion log file: /home/u238/.Genymobile/genymotion.log Player log file: /home/u238/.Genymobile/genymotion-player.log OpenGL connected to 192.168.56.101:25000 Port 22468 will be used for OpenGL data connections
The emulator shows up for about 5 sec.. black screen with white ui buttons on the right.. and then it disapears from screen
[facepalm] to solve the vanishing emulator just install graphic drivers supporting opengl 2 GenyMotion Virtual Device opens and disappears immediately

The Genymotion startup time is around 5 seconds (compared to at least 30 seconds for the Android emulator). Genymotion also runs Robotium tests visibly faster, and with a smoother UI.
In my testing Genymotion is definitely faster than the AVD Manager, with almost instant boot times and no lag. In general, a virtual device is much slower than a real device, Google has worked with Intel in an attempt to bring a better experience using a kind of virtual machine.
Today, we're proud to announce Android 8.0 Oreo now works flawlessly on Genymotion 2.12!
Genymotion is an Android Emulator that is faster than the Android Studio Emulator. Genymotion emulator offers a wide range of virtual devices for development, test, and demonstration purpose.
Ok I get it.
You're not running the Genymotion player but Virtual Box. Try to run the genymotion binary (the one where you downloaded the templates) and to launch your VMs from it directly. It brings a lot of improvements.
