The window manager (xfwm4) takes care of the title bar it is a set of pixmaps so the font size and/or gtk settings are irrelevant if you want a larger title bar you must use a different theme or tweak one your self, have a look in say /usr/share/themes/Crux/xfwm4 to see the general layout of the titlebar.

xfce's DPI settings change everything except title bar height.

from usr/share/themes:
style "frame_title" {

fg[NORMAL] = lighter (@fg_color)
}

Would really like this bug fixed. Are any temporary hax/ theme edits possible?
Thanks

The title bar itself is dependent on the theme used and it is independent of XFCE. The setting you are looking for, should be in your Linux distribution desktop settings.

Hi budman,

I think it depends on the font size and on the size of the background image. Maybe you can check /usr/share/themes.

Is there a way to change the titlebar height?

The Window Mgr offers to change the font and size, but it does not change the height of the bar or the buttons (close, hide, maximize, etc.).
I tried fonts size like 24 pt but it ends up bleeding over the edges. Is there anything I can add to the theme rc files?

I'm using Xfce 4.6 Final.

Thanks
