Hello Lukas,

nice theme. But I think the proper solution for this would be that xfwm4 scales the theme pixmaps in proportion to the DPI settings. HiDPI screens are more and more common nowadays, so this will give a better user experience.
Maybe adding SVG-support would be advisable, too, to avoid blurry images from hard scaling.
