The latest Xfce is quite simple and fast by itself. There's no need to mod it. It accomplishes what it is intended to, provide a fast and elegant interface with a light memory footprint, very nicely. If you're doing it for pure looks, then I don't think it's possible. I don't think you'll be able to get the CDE feel from Xfce, but the Xfce feel is very nice. If you really wanted, you could use Compiz/-Fusion with Xfce and kick Gnome too.
