This setting should make only sense if you generally use the VMware software in full screen mode.

Make the launcher automatically hiding in the same place.

Click on the cogs in the launcher aka the System Settings, choose Appearance and then the Behavior tab. Change the global menu at the top of the screen back to window centric menus.Here is what you could do to mitigate the Tahr's clunkiness a bit: Just try the Lubuntu image! It also has the long term support and comes like the original with VMware Tools. If the Trusty Thar comes as a swallow in its LXDE garment, then it is sweet and swift. Ubuntu likes mismatching or strange names. Its name is Unity, but a better name would be Clunky. Sadly, the older standard Ubuntu 12.04 LTS above uses already this new desktop made by Ubuntu. It uses the classic start menu instead of Trusty Tahr's DOS-like dash. The Lubuntu 14.04 image is a speedy alternative to our default Ubuntu image with the LXDE desktop.It comes also with VMware Tools and is much faster as it doesn't require 3d functions. For people needing long term support we can recommend the last Ubuntu LTS image, which is the Ubuntu 12.04 image.Instead of giving your computer setup a haircut you could also just use some other VMware image from us: If both doesn't help, your hardware may not be compatible with Ubuntu's behavior of disabling 3d in some cases.

If your problem is based on the graphics driver of the host OS, this may help. This is done by removing the "# " in front of it.

Uncomment the line # mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE" in the Ubuntu.vmx file.

3D acceleration has to be activated and maximized.

Try to change the configuration of your host OS regarding the graphics behavior.

If you have a graphics card with a RadeonĨ500 (or better) GPU, you can try Direct3D acceleration using the radeon-linux driver available from ATI.

Install the latest available video driver.

Owners of Intel and some AMD video cards seem be out of luck. Working examples are GeForce, NVidia TNT, Quadro, ATI FireGL or Radeon 8500 (or higher) graphics cards.

Use a graphics card in the host machine with support for accelerated OpenGL.

That eases the slowness somewhat, but working with the decelerated Thar can be still annoying. What can be done to speed up the Trusty Thar if 3d is not working hardware accelerated? We already have disabled effects like window fading and animations with the Compiz config settings manager, which got additionally installed to accomplish this task. Without the 3d acceleration the Thar is lame. If the Ubuntu OS detects these hardware pieces it silently turns the acceleration off and there are more reasons why it may not work. Intel graphics and some AMD chips don't seem to work reliable enough for Ubuntu. It may have to do with your host system and the used graphics driver or even with your hardware. Unfortunately this can be for some virtualized guest systems still a big problem. The not so fine thing is its dependence on 3d acceleration by hardware.

It is also a relative light download and, of course, it comes with the five year support from the Ubuntu team. The fine thing about this Ubuntu image is that it has correctly working VMware Tools on board.
