Guest OS resolution (text too small) in vmware workstation 12 player

[stalbaig]

I have a windows 10 host OS where I have installed vmware workstation 12 player. I have an Xubuntu as a guest OS (virtual machine).

The complication is: the text is too small in guest OS and almost unreadable.

The steps that I have already taken to rectify the problem are given below:

1. I have already installed vmware tools (which is confirmed by hovering on Manage -> Reinstall vmware tools).

2. I have tried to manually set the resolution in the vmware before starting the virtual machine (by manually changing it to 640 by 480 and then to other settings).

3. In vmware workstation 12 player, i cannot see the stretch the guest OS but I have tried to stretch the guest desktop in the guest OS.

Note: I am using DELL XPS 15 with 4k UHD.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciable. If I am unable to explain anything please let me know, I can provide more details.
