The answer is


Go to view and press "Switch to scale mode" which will adjust the virtual screen when you adjust the application.


It sounds to me as if you actually mean "linux guests" and not "linux hosts".

But in any case, I suspect you did not install the VMWare Tools: doubleclick on that icon on the Desktop that can be seen on your screenshot. It will install some drivers that communicate with VMWare that, among other things, allow to adjust the screen resolution dynamically.

When the installation process is finished, you'll most likely have to reboot the VM.


From you main machine, start -> search -> "remote desktop connection" -> click on "remote desktop connection" -> Click "Options" Beside to "Connect Button" -> Display Tab - > Then increase Display Configuriton Size. If this will not work, try the same thing by closing remote desktop. But this will give you solution.


Change the resolution of your operating system running in VMware and hope it will stretch the screen when chosen the correct values
