AIUI early versions of Xfce4 used GTK 2 and versions beginning with 4.13 use GTK 3. So yes Xfce4 on bullseye uses GTK 3. > There are still some applications that use GTK2.

There's some information about installing different themes at https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes It's perhaps worth noting that quite a few GTK themes seem to have obscure bugs that affect the appearance of some applications but not others, so your experience may be better or worse than other people's depending on which applications you use. Mainstream choices generally seem to be safer. > Kind regards,
