The default theme for xfce beowulf is clearlooks-phoenix-cinnabar and it
works perfectly. If you install desktop-base you should get all the
necessary parts but you might have to choose that theme also in the
window manager settings. You are on your own with any other themes. If
you want to fix another theme, I suggest the xfce forum. They were very
helpful to solve issues with CPC that were broken going from ascii to
beowulf.
