You might want to look at www.xfce-look.org. There you can find different
themes. My personal favorites are the Murrine-Themes. You can download a
theme from there, save it in $HOME/.themes, unpack it, and it will be seen
and selectable from the Xfce-Settings-Manager. BUT you must also have the
corresponding Gtk+2-Engine installed. For example the Murrina-Engine to use
Murrina-Themes. You can get these engines also from the same site, but if
you can, it would be better to install them from your package manager.
And you are definitly not restricted to use only themes that start with
xfce-... .
Hope this helps,
Stefan
