Library Bar eats too much of screen space

Library Bar appears too bulky while I'm using Workstation not in a full screen mode (need to quickswitch between machines frequently).

It's ok since I can resize width, but minimal size is just absurd -- 200px.

I've found string in a config file

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini

pref.ws.session.window0.sidebar.width = "200"

If I set this value below 200, VMware just ignores it and loads Library Bar with 200px width.

In VMware Workstation 7 it was called Sidebar and minimum width was set at 100px, which is more acceptable.

Is there a fix or workaround? Where is stored check for this minimal value, in vmware.exe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this just a little issue started too much annoying when catched my eye.
