[solved] XFCE - Help customizing for touchscreen / finger friendly UI

Now that I've managed to get the touchscreen installed and working on my daughter's xmas gift I need some help with making it a bit more finger friendly.

1) I'm looking either for a theme (or just a setting somewhere) to make the window/title bar larger.  She needs to be able to close windows easily.

2) I'm using wbar and can't get the settings to stick.  I've increased the icon size (both manually and with the gui from AUR) but when I reboot it never seems to stick.

3) Is there a setting somewhere to make all programs open full screen?

Thanks all.

**edit: I've got it figured out. 

1) I just went to the .gtkrc file of my theme and changed the settings of the following lines:  GtkRange::slider_width & GtkRange::stepper_size  (both are 30 now)
2) You have to start wbar with a command to change the default icon size
3) devilspie will work, thanks for the heads up.
