Description: A modification of the "Default" xfwm4 theme meant to save more screen space while maximizing clickable pixels.
• The title bar is 4 pixels shorter. • The buttons are nearly twice as wide. • There is no unclickable 2-pixel gap between buttons. • The buttons are set inward 3 pixels for easier corner resizing while still being clickable against the edge of the screen maximized. • The top border clickable region for resizing is 1 pixel thicker.
SVG based theme for xfwm4. Created Sept. 2006 by Olivier Fourdan Modified Oct. 2014 by Olivier Fourdan Theme released under GNU GPL license. Modified Sept. 2022 by Edward Piper
I really like this theme, but have a bit of issue regarding 4pixels shorter Title bar.
It looks good when tabs menu are next to the title (e.g. Window Manager), but when using a program that has File/Edit/View menu (e.g. Terminal) it's too close. I'd suggest upping 2px padding or only 2px reduction.
10holy cow, I just registered to tell you that this title bar is amazing, I even installed gtk3-classic to force this titlebar in all my gnome apps because of how useful it is, this should come by default on xfce.
Glad you like it!
This theme, and the vanilla Default Xfce theme pick colors automatically from the active GTK theme, so please install a darker GTK theme such as:

or
https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1385685
Place them in your themes folder and then assign one in the Appearance menu.
You could instead set colors in the themrc file as explained here: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/xfwm4_theme#gtk_color_pickup
But that is more difficult.
