Question Invisible/Transparent Background in VM

Hello,

If you switch to "seamless mode" in virtualbox, you can see the taskbar of the OS on your screen , like having a transparent background on your VM.
My question: is there a possibility to do the same in VMware's Workstation (7) ? I know and use the "Unity" mode in Workstation/Player, but I like to have my xp taskbar (VM OS) on top of my windows 7 (Host OS) taskbar like it would be with virtualbox...

Thanks for tipps/links or help Smilie

curs_bkgd(3CURSES)					     Curses Library Functions						curs_bkgd(3CURSES)

NAME
curs_bkgd, bkgd, bkgdset, wbkgdset, wbkgd - curses window background manipulation routines SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ] #include <curses.h> int bkgd(chtype ch); void bkgdset(chtype ch); void wbkgdset(WINDOW *win, chtype ch); int wbkgd(WINDOW *win, chtype ch); DESCRIPTION
The bkgdsets() and wbkgdset() routines manipulate the background of the named window. Background is a chtype consisting of any combination of attributes and a character. The attribute part of the background is combined (ORed) with all non-blank characters that are written into the window with waddch(). Both the character and attribute parts of the background are combined with the blank characters. The background becomes a property of the character and moves with the character through any scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations. To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the attribute part of the background is displayed as the graphic rendition of the character put on the screen. The bkgd() and wbkgd() routines combine the new background with every position in the window. Background is any combination of attributes and a character. Only the attribute part is used to set the background of non-blank characters, while both character and attributes are used for blank positions. To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the attribute part of the background is displayed as the graphic rendition of the character put on the screen. RETURN VALUES
bkgd() and wbkgd() return the integer OK, or a non-negative integer, if immedok() is set. See curs_outopts(3CURSES). ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |Unsafe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO

The header <curses.h> automatically includes the headers <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>. Note that bkgdset() and bkgd() may be macros. SunOS 5.10 31 Dec 1996 curs_bkgd(3CURSES)
