So, my almost new own Xfwm4 theme is done :number1:
(The last 5 shadow setting in themerc file are related to compositing, which I have switched off, so you can t see the shadows in the screenshot...)

That's a really nice theme. I hope you will be able to have it in the MX Linux repo once the final complete release of your lovely creation is completed.

Perhaps someone here in the forum can help you out because this is way above my skill set.

In general, it works, but there should perhaps be a connection to the GTK theme concernig color definitions...

The main goals was:

1) thicker borders to better catchig with mouse pointer
2) better distinguishing between active and inactive windows

With compositor it looks like this:
