Hi!
Since some time ago, I have VMware player installed on my computer. I must say I love how the software works, indeed! And the Unity mode is a fun toy to play with! But, it has something that should be fixed, I think. I don't know how VMware workstation works under Unity, but I guess its the same as Player.
As you enter Unity mode, the VMware player window minimizes to the taskbar. This window is confusing sometimes, and its OBSTRUCTIVE. It doesn't have anymore the system itself, and it becomes practically useless.
I think this useless window should be removed, and the program minimized to the system tray (not the guest programs themselves, but the VMware window). I have this suggestion:
The VMware Player/Workstation window is minimized to system tray by default when entering Unity. It has the following options when right-clicked:
*Exit Unity Mode: Exits Unity, returning the guest OS to its windowed mode.
(Separation)
*Show VMware on Taskbar: For those that don't mind the obstructive taskbar item and useless window.
*Help on using Unity: Shows the help for Unity Mode.
*VMWare on the Web: Opens the VMware website on the Host OS.
(Separation)
*Guest System Tray Notifications: This section shows the Guest OS System tray icons.
(Separation)
*Guest Programs: An application menu, besides the one that activates while hovering the Host Start menu.
*Check for updates: Checks for newer versions for VMWare Player/Workstation, as well as VMWare Tools.
*Machine Settings: Opens the Configuration window.
*Power Options: Options to reset/suspend/power off, and maybe an ACPI Power off.
*About VMWare: Shows the About window.
*Kill Application: Exits VMware.
I hope you take this into account, since it would be quite useful.
