emerald maximised window close button placement

Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem described below when using emerald. Does someone know how to fix this issue? I'm running xfce.

I've tried changing to various emerald themes, but they all seem to have the same behavior.

I need to be able to move the mouse to the far top-right corner of the screen and click to close the window. Currently I have to backtrack a couple pixels down and to the left in order to actually click on the close button.
Also for some reason, when I go to the very top of the screen, the mouse cursor changes to the cursor for resizing a window even though it isn't possible since the window is maximized. This makes no sense, and I want it to stop doing that, because sometimes I like to move my cursor to the very top of the screen and double click to resize the window. Currently I have to yet again backtrack a couple pixels....
...
Proper behavior should be that when the window is maximized, clicking the mouse button in the corner should close the window even if the mouse cursor isn't explicitly over the close button.

6 YEAR BUMP
for the benefit of Googlers (including, more than likely, my future self). Sorry!

The fix for Emerald:
Emerald Theme Manager -> Theme settings tab -> Edit themes tab -> Titlebar tab
Set Vertical Button Offset and Horizontal Button Offset to 0.

Congratulations, Fitts's law is fully operational again.

Hi Emeraldfix. Thanks for sharing your solution, however, as this topic is a six year old zombie, I'm going to close it now.

Closing.
