Created attachment 4372 What the windows should look like

When using the Redmond Xfwm theme, the top border of maximized windows is the same as normal, but that doesn't look right : the top 4 pixels, which are gray, should be hidden (see attachment).

The way Xfwm themes are build right now, the same top border for windows is used when the window is maximized and when it's not. I don't think it's necessary to have completely different borders for the two states, but maybee we could just have a new property in the themerc file that says that the top n pixels of the border must be hidden when the window is maximized.

I know this might look like a trivial matter, but I find that it makes the Redmond theme look ugly (and unrealistic!), and I guess other themes may also have that problem.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select the Redmond Xfwm theme
2. Maximize a window

Thank you for your hard work, Xfce is great!
