Using Unity Mode
In virtual machines with Linux or Windows 2000 or later guest operating systems, you can switch to Unity mode to display applications directly on the host desktop. The taskbar displays items for open applications in Unity mode just as it does for open host applications.
The virtual machine console view is hidden, and you can minimize the Workstation window.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut, and paste images, plain text, formatted text, and email attachments between applications on your host machine and virtual machine applications displayed in Unity mode. You can also drag and drop and copy and paste files between host and guest. See Using the Copy and Paste Feature and Using the Drag-and-Drop Feature.
Note If you save a file or attempt to open a file from an application in Unity mode, the file system you see is the file system inside the virtual machine. You cannot open a file from the host operating system or save a file to the host operating system.
When a virtual machine is in Unity mode, you can access the virtual machine’s Start menu (for Windows virtual machines) or Applications menu (for Linux virtual machines) by pointing to one of the following locations:
• On Windows hosts, point to the Start button.
• On Linux hosts, point to the upper-left corner of the primary monitor.
For some guest and host operating systems, if you have multiple monitors, application windows in Unity mode can appear only on the monitor that is set as the primary display. If the host and guest are Windows XP or later, the application windows can appear on additional monitors
On Windows, Unity mode is not available in the full screen mode. When you cycle through virtual machines, all the virtual machines that are in Unity mode do not appear.
Set Preferences for Unity Mode
You can configure Unity mode so that you can access a virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu from the host’s desktop. You can also specify the border color around applications that run in Unity mode on the desktop.
Accessing a virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu from the host’s desktop enables you to start applications in the virtual machine that are not open in Unity mode. If you do not enable this feature, you must exit Unity mode to display the virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu in the console view.
To help distinguish between the application windows that belong to various virtual machines, you can give them different colors. For example, you can set the applications for one virtual machine to have a blue border and set the applications for another virtual machine to have a yellow border.
You can also set a Workstation preference to minimize the Workstation window when you enter Unity mode.
To set preferences for Unity mode
1Select the virtual machine.
2Choose VM > Settings.
3Click the Options tab and select Unity.
4Complete the settings panel and click OK.
Use the following information to determine which features to enable:
• To identify the application as belonging to this virtual machine rather than the host, use the Show borders check box to set a window border. Use the Show badges check box to display a logo in the title bar.
• To use a custom color, click the colored rectangle to access the color chooser on Linux hosts. On Windows hosts, click Choose color.
• If you select the Enable applications menu check box, the virtual machine Start or Applications menu appears in the host’s desktop.
On Windows hosts, point to the Start button. On Linux hosts, point to the upper-left corner of the primary monitor. The menu has the same color border as the virtual machine application window.
5Repeat this process for each virtual machine that you plan to use in Unity mode.
6(Optional) To automatically minimize the Workstation window when you enter Unity mode, do the following:
aChoose Edit > Preferences.
bClick the Unity tab.
cSelect Minimize Workstation when entering Unity and click OK.
This Workstation preference is used for all virtual machines.
Enter and Exit Unity Mode
In Unity mode, a virtual machine’s applications look like other application windows on the host, except that they have a colored window border and a badge in the window’s title bar.
Before you begin, make sure the virtual machine meets these requirements:
• The virtual machine must be a Workstation 6.x or higher virtual machine.
• VMware Tools must be installed and running in the virtual machine’s guest operating system. The version of VMware Tools must be the version included in Workstation 6.5 and later. For instructions, see Installing VMware Tools.
• The guest operating system in the virtual machine must be Linux or Windows 2000 or later.
• For Linux guests and hosts, VMware recommends that you use a modern version of Metacity or KDE. Performance on Linux depends on a combination of variables such as the system, the applications that are running, and the amount of RAM.
To enter and exit Unity mode
1In the virtual machine, open the applications to use in Unity mode.
2From the Workstation menu bar, select View > Unity.
A check mark appears next to Unity in the menu.
The virtual machine’s console view in the Workstation window is hidden, and the guest’s open applications appear in application windows on the host’s desktop.
3To exit Unity mode, display the Workstation window and select View > Unity to remove the check mark next to Unity, or click Exit Unity in the virtual machine’s console view.
Access a Virtual Machine’s Start or Applications Menu in Unity Mode
If it is configured, a virtual machine in Unity mode can display the virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu above the host’s Start or Applications menu.
With this feature, you have easy access to applications in the virtual machine that are not open in Unity mode.
Before you begin, complete the following tasks:
• Verify that the virtual machine is configured to use this feature. See Set Preferences for Unity Mode.
• Power on the virtual machine.
To access a virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu in Unity mode
1From the Workstation menu bar, select View > Unity.
2Point to the Start menu on Windows hosts or to the upper-left corner of the primary monitor on Linux hosts to display the virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu on the host.
3(Optional) Use the default option, Ctrl+Shift+U.
4(Optional) If you have multiple virtual machines in Unity mode, you can navigate between multiple Start and Applications menus.
aPress the arrow keys, Tab, or Shift+Tab to cycle through the virtual machine menus.
bPress Enter and the space bar to select a virtual machine.
Create Virtual Machine Application Shortcuts on the Host in Unity Mode
You can create a shortcut for applications in a virtual machine on the host in Unity mode and open them like you open any application on your host.
Before you begin, complete the following tasks:
• Verify that the virtual machine is configured to use this feature. See Set Preferences for Unity Mode.
• Verify that the latest version of VMware Tools is running in the guest.
• Power on the virtual machine.
To create virtual machine application shortcuts on the host in Unity mode
1From the Workstation menu bar, select View > Unity.
2Point to the Start button on Windows hosts or to the upper-left corner of the primary monitor on Linux hosts to display the virtual machine’s Start or Applications menu on the host.
3Click the virtual machine’s Start or Application menu.
A list of virtual machine application menus appear.
4Create a shortcut on the host.
• On Windows, right-click any application and select Create Shortcut on Desktop.
A shortcut for the application appears on the host.
• On Linux, drag the application to the host.
Open the Application Shortcut for a Virtual Machine Application
You can open a virtual machine application shortcut from the host even when the virtual machine is powered off or suspended.
On Windows guests, you can save your login credentials in the Autologon settings and open the virtual machine application without having to enter a password. See Enable Autologon in a Windows Guest.
Before you begin, verify that the virtual machine application shortcut is available on the host. See Create Virtual Machine Application Shortcuts on the Host in Unity Mode.
To open the application shortcut for a virtual machine application
1Double-click the shortcut to open the virtual machine’s application from the host.
2(Optional) On Windows guests, enable Autologon. 对于有密码的，解决办法如下：
Enable Autologon in a Windows Guest
When you enable Autologon or change the login credentials, the Autologon settings are saved immediately. Clicking Cancel in the Virtual Machine Settings dialog box does not affect the changes applied to the Autologon settings.
Before you begin, complete the following tasks:
• Verify that your guest operating system is Windows 2000 or higher.
• Have an existing user account to enable Autologon.
• Verify that the user account is a local machine account and not a domain account.
• Power on the virtual machine.
• Verify that the latest version of VMware Tools is running in the guest.
To enable Autologon in a Windows guest
1Select VM > Settings > Options > Autologon.
2In the Autologon section, select Enable.
3In the dialog box, type your login credential and click OK.
If you type an incorrect or expired password, Workstation does not display an error message. When you power on the guest you are required to type your login credentials.
4(Optional) Change your login credential.
aSelect Change User.
bIn the dialog box, type a different login credential and click OK.
The new user name appears in the Autologon section. 软件的更新太快了。。。
