Well, I've finally found something for Xfce that is very close to the setup I use in kde-4. The more I use it, the more I like it better than my kde-4 configuration.

used with the Whisker Menu in Slackware64-current.
For whatever reasons it appears fuzzy in the image below, but it is actually bright and sharp on the desktop.
Wow that is gorgeous and not just the wallpaper. Kudos and thank you as I recently stopped using Xfce because of some display issues and this may very well fix that. KDE4 is pretty sweet and I very much like some of the implementations of KDE 5 I've tried out but I have also tried Enlightenment and TDE Trinity as well as LXDE recently and as lean as KDE has become it still loads more than I would like even when pared down a bit and both TDE and LXDE are now deprecated. I've always been impressed with Enlightenment and got pretty excited when I read it has the ability to switch to a Tiling desktop somewhat like i3 but maybe I need to spend more time in it to enjoy more than just the concept.
Xfce however I already like if I could just get past a few oddball glitches and this may do the trick.. I will find out today. Thanks.
UPDATE: I like the look of the Dark Leather theme but there are still a few conflicts with KDE full support that make it easier and more functional to just continue with KDE. FWIW KDE uses less CPU and only 2% more ram than Xfce on my box so no biggy.

Reason: update
@Enorbet: give a try to Mate. It's actively developed, ships with the marco WM by default but you can use compiz or metacity as well, probably others like xfwm4 or kwin.
