Hi, as I see it, I don't think it is possible because Zorin Lite is based on Lubuntu which uses LXDE (Lightweight X Desktop Environment).

You could give this a try but absolutely - NO GUARANTEES!

Well Avant Window Navigator will be your main issue. I did get GnoMenu installed (which is what Zorin uses, but they have modded it to be ZorinMenu) in Cairo-Dock, but either Zorin Base updates or Kernel updates have killed my GnoMenu! :D
