In this particular case, Apple had released a Developer Preview of their latest iteration of their Mac operating system previously called OS X. These folks work tirelessly to make sure that the crazy complexity that is Fusion and Workstation are able to support both the latest and greatest as well as the ancient and obsolete.

Resize the macOS virtual machine (by resizing the window) to your desired dimensions.

Logout and login from the virtual machine.

Open Terminal (in the macOS virtual machine), paste this command, then press Return: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true.

Enable full resolution mode, as shown in the image above.

Here's what you need to do to use your VMware Fusion OS X/macOS virtual machines in retina mode: 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.

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.
