Thank you!

@asqwerth Glad you like :-)
Like most window decoration themes, it is still a bit small on a higher dpi screen (like my laptop) but that's the case with most xfwm4 themes that are not specifically made for hidpi displays.

Looking forward to the gtk3 theme part.

So, do I need to make things larger for that display or higher res? (I'm not sure I have anything over 1920 )

I think you just have to make a separate hidpi version where you double or triple some characters in certain directions in the xpm files.

You could examine some of the "thick" border themes that are preinstalled in MX23 and compare how/where they differ from the normal-sized xfwm4 themes.

Just try your experiments on your normal display. They'll look ridiculously large on your screen, but will show up better-sized on higher res screens.


[ADDED]
Here is a link to one I made -- https://app.box.com/s/ysnozrgvyekgb4h01p0hhf89szmad742

which I modified from the OneColor set of xfwm4 themes.

I provided that link in our wiki entry about borders that are too thin. You can add yours there as well.
