Fix when you can't switch to full Screen in Manjaro or any arch-distro(Vmware guest) even when open-vm-tools is installed

Don't try to reinstall vmware tools again as it won't work cause the script has an issue with the init.d directory

FIRST OF INSTALL open-vm-tools if not installed

type in-

sudo pacman -S open-vm-tools

Now we're to install some non-free display drivers and graphic libraries

type in-

sudo pacman -Su xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-video-vmware mesa gtk2 gtkmm

Now all we gotta do is to edit or create the Xorg's wrapper config

echo needs_root_rights=yes | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

Finally enable and start the vmtoolsd.service

sudo systemctl enable vmtoolsd

sudo systemctl start vmtoolsd

Now, for instance if you've rebooted from the login screen and the resolution is not adapting (Or even after starting the vmtoolsd service nothing happens only then)type in

sudo systemctl restart vmtoolsd

And done, You're in full resolution --Congratulations
