[SOLVED] How to change dimension of Whisker Menu

Post by Spartathlon »

I am in Mint since the last four weeks. I tried Cinnamon and MATE, and I enjoy XFCE best :D .

In the beginning, I could change the dimensions of the menu.
Now I added one more subject (Education) and would like the topic System to be seen.
But when I hit the triangle with the mouse, it doesn't resize.

I'm sure it is something I do wrong... but what might it be? Any idea?

This is a picture of my whisker:

When I click on the arrow (see red circle), nothing happens. I can't resize the whisker... :(

Thanks very much, ByeByeXP.
...Whisker's popup window is WAITING for resizing by way of your mouse's left-click-on-arrow-then-hold-and-drag-2-resize-letgo movement. Not quite intuitive...
For me it is intuitive, but doesn't work. I tried left-click, right-click... I tried right-click on the menu button/properties but I could not find anything to redimension it.

It seems as it has been blocked...

Hmmm... Could it be that I had blocked it unconsciously before?
If so, what could it be? Should I change something in the configuration?
I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa XFCE and Compiz.

All right!

Could I try re-installing?
(Using Synaptic, eliminate xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin, and re-installing again?)

If you think that'll help, I'll do it. Otherwise, I'll post this on xfce's forum.

And thanks very much for your help, ByeByeXP,

Ok! Reinstalling didn't fix my problem.

I finally bumped into the solution (In a way I couldn't suspect).

The question is that I was using compiz. :?:
If I change my window manager to xfwm4+composition, then I can re-dimension the menu. :o

After that, I have compiz as a window manager, again, and that's solved. :D

Thanks for your answers ByeByeXP, anyway. :) :) :) I was really happy to receive them.
