Increase the edge/border size to allow easier window resizing

Hi Team,

I’m finding it quite challenging to resize windows on a 4K monitor, as it’s difficult to grab the edges without multiple attempts.

While I know that pressing Alt + Right Mouse Button works, it requires both hands.

I understand this can be addressed by theme creators, but many themes haven’t been patched.

I’ve looked into modifying .xpm files as described in these links:

- https://mxlinux.org/wiki/xfce/changing-border-size-with-xfce4-window-manager/
- https://sevkeifert.blogspot.com/2014/12/increase-window-border-size-in-xubuntu.html

Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate the .xpm files for the [equilux-theme](https://github.com/ddnexus/equilux-theme) I’m using. Even if patched, switching themes would require repeating the process.

Could you consider adding a feature in XFCE to set (customizable) default border/edge sizes for easier window resizing with the mouse?

Or, if there’s a config file I can edit to achieve this, I’d appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Thank you all for your hard work on this fantastic DE!

Best,

Omui
