I have installed Linux-Mint on my VMware Workstation8 but I don't know how to make its screen fit inside the VMware client screen even when I resize the VMware windows.

  • It works the other way around. Usually your monitors don't change size while you're working. – Blender Feb 14 '12 at 03:51
  • Sorry, I thought you meant resize the actual machine's screen to fit to the window size, not scale the image. @sunday's answer is correct, as I do that with VirtualBox sometimes. – Blender Feb 14 '12 at 04:18

As far as I know, VMware doesn't support scaling in that fashion. You should try VirtualBox, as it has an option to Scale-To-Window.

Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003

That's for windows but it's the same issue for linux. Basically you need to play with vmx file.
