Twick xfce4 for tocuhscreen monitors

Edit desktop under. Do for touchstsreen.
Tell me how to make a close button, change the size to large or to separate hanging permanently on the desktop to be opened and closed to any active window.

+ How to make so that the windows do not climb over the border of the desktop and always open in full screen?
thanks

For the title bar buttons I think you need to make an xfwm4 theme. It needs images and a theme.rc file.
You can find examples inside the theme folders in /usr/share/themes but you could also look at xfce-look.org if there are xfwm4 themes that have a thick title bar.

If you open the windows maximized they won't climb over the border. But you can prevent that too in Settings>Window Manager>Advanced and uncheck the 'Wrap workspaces' boxes.
If you use an app like devilspie you can set individual apps to open maximized by default but I think that if when you close an app it's maximized then next time it will open maximized.
There are other ways to do it too, maybe more of a general setting which is what you would want. But I don't know right now.

I've created a personalized Xubuntu called XJUbunTAB that makes XFCE touch friendly and HiDPI-friendly as well. Please try it and let me know your suggestions.
I've used TouchEgg and only problem I have is when I run touchegg I can't click on close/maximize/minimize buttons of the windows...
