Zorin Lite Menu is not resizable Solved

I`m using this in live mode with nvidia graphics enabled. Normally you can drag the corner of the menu
to enlarge it but not in this case. Never seen this happen before unless compiz is being used and overrides
the native xfce4 compositer. Any suggestions on how to be able to resize would be appreciated. I`m running Zorin Lite
on my 65 inch tv so I need to resize to make it workable.

That is because Zorin have customised it to mimic Core, i.e., Windows 7 style menu.

In terminal, please try:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin

You can tell I have typed that command a lot :D
That will install the resizable WhiskerMenu plugin.

Whiskermenu is often the default menu app on many XFCE bearing distros.
However, Zorin uses a modified Arc Menu called Zorinmenulite. Arc menu was created by Graeme Gott, the creator of Whiskermenu.
