Window Manager vs. Appearance settings and downloaded themes

I have found two places where appearance/theme can potentially be adjusted:

Applications -> Settings -> Appearance -> Style

Settings -> Window Manager

Some themes I have downloaded (Greybird-Dark, Greybird-Light, Material-Black-Blueberry) have menu items listed in both places.  Other themes I have downloaded (Prof-Gnome-Dark-3.5, Prof-Gnome-Darker-3.5, Prof-Gnome-Light-3.5) only have menu items listed in the first location.  Does that mean I didn't install them correctly or do not all themes show up in both locations?

Re: Window Manager vs. Appearance settings and downloaded themes

What that means is that those themes don't ship with an xfwm4 theme component. You can tell by looking inside the theme folder and not seeing an xfwm4 folder.

Having said that, you can mix and match and use a different xfwm4 theme.
