Downloaded a few darker themes to try on VL from xfce-look.org, many are very nice but
I could not see the text in the browser
J-Pilot crashes with several, perhaps other applications
the clock color is diminished on the wallpaper
Decided to try creating a simple gtkrc theme, which is harder than I thought.
created this from xfce-charcoal which was like the above but did not crash jpilot. not as nice as the "concrete" theme but a work in progress. I call it xfce-dust-VL
Here is a pic
