Please allow us to use decimal values (like -0.5 or 0.5) in the 'Shift the buttons horizontally' setting

I am in a situation where I use a third party Aero Glass skinning utility for Windows 10 and I find that using a value of "-1" results in there still being a space between the minimize button and the Actual Window Manager compact button. I figure if I can use -1.5, -1.4,, -1.3, or some other non-whole number I'd be able to align it perfectly. This third party utility allows me to resize the default caption buttons to make them compact like Windows 7 on Windows 10. So it would be nice if I could tweak Actual Window Manager's title buttons with some more fine grain to be proportionate and aligned to these.

Using a value of -2 makes it overlap the minimize button.

Here's a screenshot with the value set at -1 in Actual Window Manager 8.5 Beta 2. Also note that the button is too tall and I don't like how fat the buttons got even for existing skin XML files in Beta 2. It was just the right size tallness wise in Beta 1 of 8.5 even though Beta 1 also had the alignment problem that I could solve if I could use a non-whole number:

Here is what it looks like with a value of -2:
