Theme control in Xfce4



Until quite recently, i.e. in the last year or so, I used the Crux
theme in Gnome and more recent Xfce4. But in a recent install from
release 7.6 (of Wheezy), Crux has changed in a way that is significant
for me. I have a style of working in which I have many overlapping
terminal windows on the screen. When the window that has focus is too
small to contain some long lines without folding, I like to quickly expand
the window, either to the left or to the right, depending on what
other window will be covered by the expansion.

The old Crux had thick borders on all four sides, top, bottom, left,
and right. This thick border made it easy to position the mouse cursor
on a particular edge and quickly adjust it to my liking. In the new
Crux the side borders are extremely hard to hit on with my imperfect
eye-hand coordination. I want the old Crux back. Is there a package of
'legacy' themes? What is its name?

The so-called hi-contrast themes don't help. They don't affect the
outside border. Instead they use up interior area, thus reducing the
area of useful information.

How can I get the old Crux back? Please.
