Hi Silvio,

That is the possible themes.  I am after only the ones that
show in
     https://ibb.co/SDbj64kD
The ones in Red.  In other words, the ones that Xfce
has installed and that show in Mouse and Touchpad
themes tab.

In the above, it is only three.
     Adwaita (which is the default)
     MATE    (I have MATE installed too.)
     MATE (Black)

I am after this list from the command line.
