VMWare Workstation Forces Retina on Full Screen

So I have VMWare Workstation 10 running a Linux Mint Virtual Machine on Macbook Pro with Retina running Windows via Bootcamp.  All works well except it runs the virtual machine at the maximum 2880x1800 native resolution of the Macbook Pro and that's too much and the icons too tiny.  So I change the display resolution in Linux and I lose the full screen and if I change the display option in the VMWare settings, I also lose the full screen option - it even mention that it will happen.  

Is there anyway to get a full screen option at a lower resolution?

That did the tricks - thanks much.
@markbyrn - Thanks and I'm glad that worked. I have a small laptop and I do not like full screen virtual machines and that is how I solved my problem.   Cheers!    ... Thinkpads_User
