Set guest client area to 1600 x 900 (exact resolution) - guest high dpi work-around?

Hi,

I am struggling with running a guest CentOS 7 / KDE on a Windows 10 laptop which has a high dpi resolution of 3200 x 1800.

 

Because the guest has unsatisfactory support for high dpi (and I cannot change the guest), I am trying to solve the problem from the outside. The following works somewhat OK:

* resize the client area of the guest (i.e. the VMware window) to 1600 x 900

* go full screen with the VM (Ctrl+Alt+Enter)

* make sure that "View -> Autosize -> Stretch Guest" is enabled

 

For the to work sufficiently well, without fuzzy rendering, I really, really want the client area at 1600 x 900.

 

What is the easiest way to set this reliably? Right now, I have to manually resize, which is a real pain to do manually.

 

Bonus question: Are there other means to compensate for the bad high dpi support in guest CentOS 7?
