Question #1:

As you can see application finder, thunar, software center, firefox all respect the system theme (in this case Zukitre-Dark) but notxfce-terminal. I tried this in native Qogir dark...same result. I tried this in all dark themes. Same result.
Question: How can one make xfce-terminal respect/adopt the system theme?

Question #2:

This is a cool James Dean picture I found with his Porsche Little Bastard, but he is not the question. Do you see that awesome analog clock on the XFCE panel at the bottom?
Question: how do I get a bitchin' analog clock on the Desktop? Is Conky the only way to get an analog clock on a GTK-3 desktop? [if this question is gtk-3 agnostic, please disregard the gtk-3 part].

thanks anyone for clarity.

    Need to tick "Use system theme colours for text and background" in xfce terminal settings.

          Harvey thanks!!
          I was there at that tab. Instead of reading the tick boxes below I tried to make my moves in the text/background boxes above them. D'oh.

            marking solved. in my research I've found out that there is no bitchin' desktop analog clock without a conky script and conky (or install variety wall paper but I don't want the app just for the clock).

            If anyone knows anything different, pray tell.
            :@Harvey thanks that fixed it and made the desktop uniform

            progress: xfce is getting dialed in, not a daily driver but almost. I really like it. Installed printer and scanner easily.
