How to change the position of the title bar in XFCE?

I hate widescreens, but I bought one because only those are sold. There's a problem with them - The amount of text you can fit on the screen horizontally is quite low which means less lines of text and more scrolling. Also, I noticed that at least 50px is taken up by misc title bars and menus. There would be much more space if I got rid of them.
Unfortunately, getting rid of them is not an option. I need them. I was thinking that it perhaps would be possible to move the title bars of the windows to the side of the window. Mockup of how it would work included. Do you know of any such solution? That would really help.

Already been requested ( http://xfce.wikia.com/wiki/Wish_List ) but not yet available AFAIK.
