I used the Unity feature of VMware Player, which allows you to display windows from the guest directly on the host system.

But according to the VMWare community forums , the Unity feature has been removed for Linux hosts in Player Version 12.

What else can I use to provide this feature?

You can use Seamless Mode (also called seamless windows ) in VirtualBox.

With the "seamless windows" feature of VirtualBox, you can have the windows that are displayed within a virtual machine appear side by side next to the windows of your host.

To enable seamless mode, after starting the virtual machine, press the Host key (normally the right control key) together with "L". This will enlarge the size of the VM's display to the size of your host screen and mask out the guest operating system's background.

To go back to the "normal" VM display (i.e. to disable seamless windows), press the Host key and "L" again.

In order to use seamless windows, you need to first install the VirtualBox guest additions.
