There are some screenshots of "VMware Workstation" at http://www.vmware.com (see Products menu). Didn't find screenshots of "VMware Player" there, but Google image search shows a few for "VMplayer". > Should not be too difficult to reproduce > it in Tcl/Tk (with a proper Tcl script as config format). If you are familiar with Tcl/Tk, maybe you could give some hints on how to embed the Qemu window into such an app? I think there are only two ways for making a GUI: - - embed the Qemu SDL window into another application (there seem to be various hacks that do this under X11; not sure about Win32) - - replace Qemu's SDL part with some GUI toolkit (GTK, Tcl/Tk...) I guess the second way is quite a lot of work. The first way is a bit "hackish", as eg. events have to propagated from the GUI app to the Qemu window... how would this work with Tcl/Tk? Probably with the second way it would also be difficult to display real-time status info in the GUI (eg. guest CPU load, guest HDD accesses, network accesses).
