How can I shrink the ntfs file system /dev/sda5 shown in the following

to make room to increase the size of my Linux home partition /dev/sda8 ?
I've used ntfsresize to reduce the size of the sda5 partition from 158 gig
to 67 gig, but gparted will not allow me to shrink (resize) sda5. The
"Resize/Move" option in gparted is grayed out as shown in the screen
capture.
So what else can I do to shrink sda5?
Once you do shrink sda5, I hope you realize that in order to increase
the size of sda8, you'll need to move sda6 and sda7 down into the free
space. You can only increase a partition into an adjacent free area.
