download gnome-color-choose package.

Use tabs global colors, and buttons. The rest dont really work, but these are the most important.

Well then either you haven't changed any of the default settings yet, or something is very wrong. I'd suggest starting a thread in the general part of the forum, as I appear to be the only one reading this thread and I'm shit out of ideas.

~/.config/Xfce4/xfconf/per-channel-xml/xfwm4.xml, IIRC.

And it was as easy as moving all but one theme to a temp dir and log into xfce and here I am. I moved the themes back after. I still have no clue where the window manager theme choice is stored.

The xfwm themes are stored in /usr/share/themes/, local ones in ~/.themes/
The xfwm4 binary is stored in /usr/bin/xfwm4

I'm thinking this is more than just xfwm4 now, though. You might want to try reinstalling several of the core xfce packages, like xfce4-session.

Ya but what? I'm wondering if uninstalling xfce is the only fix. Where are the window managers stored? /usr/share/xfce?

Maybe this might help: http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=5495.0

If he followed my instructions, he's already [re]moved the entire Xfce4 and Xfce4-session folders in ~/.config/

Clearly something else it wrong.
