I am using Openbox without a DM therefore xfce4-settings didn't
interfere. I see in the shimmer-themes description:

Depends: greybird-gtk-theme (>= 1.8.0), numix-gtk-theme (>= 1.8.0)
Suggests: albatross-gtk-theme, bluebird-gtk-theme, orion-gtk-theme, 
shimmer-wallpapers

I have also tried bluebird-gtk-theme and orion-gtk-theme, they look good too. I 
like greybird-gtk-theme most but it is affected by a bug, therefore I was 
removing it. 
The bug it is affected with is reported here:

I was not surprised to see shimmer-themes removed, but next when I used
apt-get in the console for something else, numix-gtk-theme was in the
autoremove list.

 I can see why it is more comfortable to have a meta-package for Xfce4
as it is meant for it. Is there a solution on the meta-package side so
that this doesn't happen? Or none, as long as a meta-package is used?
