Change docking edge for menu/toolbar

Hi guys,

Is there a way in VMWare 9 to change the docking edge of the menu/toolbar in full screen mode?  I don't like to use the auto-hide as it is slow to respond when I hover the mouse over it.  I also don't like the menu/toolbar to be on top as it takes up the space where the normal window caption is and in some cases where the application menu is - or at least part of it.  It would be perfect if the bar could be docked on the left edge of the primary monitor.   Is there a way to make that happen?  I am on version 9.0.1 build-894247 according to the help.  TIA:)

Best regards,

There is no option to move the toolbar, but you can control its width by adding this line to preferences.ini:

pref.commandBar.fullScreen.width="N"

where N is between 0 and 100.  The toolbar width will be that percentage of monitor width.
