Make kali linux 1920x1080 on VirtualBox?

[dman773]

After countless hours of troubleshooting I still cannot find a solution to this issue, I set up my virtual machine, installed the guest tools, and got kali linux at full screen. The issue is, it doesn't have a 16:9 aspect ratio whatsoever, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me confugre it so I can get 1920x1080.

Windows in the host PC's OS, however I would prefer kali linux to be my VM OS.
