Window Borders Large When Maximized?

OS: Linux Mint 20.2, XFCE

I've modified ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css to include:

decoration {
border: 7px solid #BDBDBD;
background: #0759EB;
}

This works well with NON-maximized windows, but the window border is still small for maximized windows.

Is there a way to get a wide border for every window? I'm happy to switch themes if that would help.

Thanks for your help/suggestions.

That's really odd. Can you give an example of a couple of programs that this is happening with? Maybe also some screenshots?

Sure, here you go, this is Firefox, same is true for Chrome:

In Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Accessibility, is "Hide frame of windows when maximized" checked?

Hi ToZ - It's unchecked.

ToZ - I've tweaked Firefox so it shows the title bar again, and the borders have re-appeared when maximized, but they are still tiny. Any ideas?

Just having a closer look at this. It might be useful to create a bug report. Even with the setting unchecked, the decoration border is not considered. This may be by design, but best to get the developer to respond.
