In thunar press ctrl+h to show hidden or . files. Now look for .themes in your home folder if its not there create it. Extract the file attached and place it in .themes. So it looks like /home/yourusername/.themes/MediterraneanLightWider after that open up the Winder Manager tool I mentioned in my previous post.

I just wanna add I did this quickly, so if anything is broken or looks ugly let me know, it's kinda wider then one might expect but meh... just let me know if you need something adjusted.

Heres the file, its on mega cause... I prefer it. If you have any issues just post and I'll upload else where.

Hi from a newbie - here and to LL and to Linux in general.
I have searched here and googel'd for a way to make the borders of any and all windows wider; the dafault width makes resizing very difficult.
Certainly this has been answered before but I am too limited to find the answer.
Any helpful pointer will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
This is simple yet complicated, the assests that render the boders for xfce are "hardcoded". So what you can do is look at the other window manager themes and see if any fit your needs. Menu>Settings>Window Manager is the tool to change this. The catch here is that it's fairly limited with whats installed already. If your not super tied to the over all appearence you can easily find more themes online and use them. http://xfce-look.org/ is a great place to start.

That all said, one could edit the theme to fit your tastes.
