I've tried Gnome Tweak Tool on Xubuntu 16.04, but it didn't work for the themes or icons. Is there an equivalent that will work on Xubuntu 16.04?

1There is a XFCE Theme Manager. webupd8.org/2013/06/… But it's an old project and it has already been integrated into XFCE 4.12 or newer. (aprox. Xubuntu 14.10 or newer).– ipse luteJun 1, 2016 at 14:51

Gnome tweak tool (like in Gnome Desktop Environment) will obviously not going to work for the Xfce Desktop Environment. They're completely unrelated aside the fact that they're both based on the GTK+ toolkit.– David FoersterJul 22, 2016 at 18:59

@DavidFoerster Well, it actually worked for some functions. But clearly, it's a bad idea to use it on XFCE.– FiksdalJul 22, 2016 at 19:03

1Yes, that's because they share the theming related to only GTK+. This will work for any GTK+ application no matter your desktop environment or compositor (even those that aren't based on GTK+ like KDE).– David FoersterJul 22, 2016 at 19:05

You simply do not need one, XFCE is very customizable by default, you can do anything the tweak tools can do, right from the system settings.
You can change theme and icons through Settings → Appearance and window borders through Settings → Window Manager.
This link will give good detail on changing the various theme components.

In my case to enable transparency changing compositor. F2 and type:
xfwm4-tweaks-settings
tab compositing > Enable display compositing
There are a bunch of other interesting options in this tool. After figuring out the way I describe above I found another answer here.
