Albatross, Bluebird, and Greybird (Greybird is still not finished), are all creations for Xfce by the Shimmer Project: http://www.shimmerproject.org

There's a tarball for each theme. Albatross and Bluebird are my favorite Xfce themes.

If you're using Arch Linux, these themes are available on the AUR. (xfce-theme-albatross, xfce-theme-bluebird, xfce-theme-greybird)

All of these themes require the Murrine GTK engine to be installed.

Don't forget to apply both the GTK portion (Settings > Appearance > Theme) and the Xfwm4 portion (Settings > Window Manager > Theme), and the wallpaper, if you desire.

The theme for Xubuntu 10.10 (Bluebird) is quite pleasant

The xfce variety of ubuntu defaults to good theming - have a look at albatross and elementary.

I recently built my new desktop and like my netbook it is running Fedora xfce however this installation is 64 bit. I was curious as to whether anyone has any themes they like and would like to share, personally I'm searching for something simple without the distro's brand all over it. I am looking through some sites like xfce-look.org and gnome-look.org but nothing is really catching my eye...
