Those css files were the gtk3 counterparts of the gtk2 themes, but they
were "displaying" fine with old versions of gtk3, with newer versions of
gtk3 they started looking bad, and since the gtk3 version of the xfce
engine got dropped/isnt installed by default the corresponding themes
arent installed either anymore. They dont look good anyway now with
recent gtk3 versions.
