I'm YEARS late this time.

Windows has the ability, but I never had to use it.
I recommend window border adjustment feature, pls.

I liked this one by <b>Troy James Sobotka</b> on 2007-11-14:
<i>It is relatively painless to change the dimensions of the surrounding border for themes... To change border widths, <b>simply</b> open up the theme's Metacity XML file. For example, Human's theme is located in /usr/share/themes/Human/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml

The stanza in question should be apparent:
  <distance name="left_width" value="5"/>
  <distance name="right_width" value="5"/>
  <distance name="bottom_height" value="5"/>

Try mucking with the values until you get something you are happy with. Unfortuanately, resolution dependency still plagues much of Gnome.</i>

Mucking. Plagued. Gnome.
Nice.
