Can I configure VMWare Workstation 12 Player so that host resolution matches guest's

I have been looking online for this and haven't had a lot of luck finding the same thing. I have VMWare Workstation 12 player installed. When I bring up a VM, and then set the resolution to be smaller than that of the host's, it basically centers the screen and there are black borders all around. I was hoping there could be a way to make vmware change the host's resolution to match the guest's resolution whenever the guest's resolution changes so that it feels more seamless. I don't see anything like this in the basic configuration GUI, but a lot of times there are options that need to be added to the preferences file. Can anyone point me to something like this?

Thanks!
