Basic guest scaling in windowed mode.

Hello! I have a handful of VMs where I'd like to leave the guest resolution locked & untampered with, while still being able to scale the console with the 'Workstation Pro' window as I please. In this instance, installing VMware Tools to auto-size the guest is not preferred; and some guests that are command-line-only will not work with this solution anyway.

To clarify, I'm after basic, bitmap-like scaling that does not have to be sharp or pretty; something akin to the kind of scaling you see in remote desktop solutions like Teamviewer and VNC. As noted elsewhere in the forum, switching to 'full screen' mode achieves this, so I am curious why the same functionality remains unimplemented in windowed mode and if there are any plans to implement this soon?

Thank you.
