Oh, then I am afraid you misunderstood.
I would sugest building it from source as indicated here <http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=149647>.

Thank you for your reply

I already have xfce installed.

But I assumed (maybe I am wrong) that

xfce-theme-manager - 0.3.5-1

is not automatically installed along with it and so I would have to separately install it.

    Dear Debian folks,

    I have been trying to install xfce theme manager (I am running
    Debian Jessie on an AMD 64 box).

    I found a web site

    
https://launchpad.net/~rebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra
    
<https://launchpad.net/%7Erebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra>

    where there appeared to be some packages that may may not work in
    debian (perhaps better used in e.g. ubuntu).

    I downloaded the ones that seemed relevant and tried using
    aptitude to install them but it did not work.

    I also noticed another web site

    
https://launchpad.net/~rebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra
    
<https://launchpad.net/%7Erebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra>

    On this website, which was dealing with e.g. xubuntu not debian
    the commands recommended to install it were:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install xfce-theme-manager

    I think the reason it may not be working in my case is that I
    don't know what the correct equivalent of

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff

    would be for a debian user.

    If it isn't possible to make the repository work in debian at
    present I could try installing from a tar file instead.

    Maybe that is what I should be doing here......

    Please excuse my ignorance here.

    Suggestions on this are most welcome.

    I really like this wallpaper item
