Foray into XFCE on Zorin OS 16 Core

On your GDM Login window

How can I get to the login window? I am still on gnome.

@Aravisian

IF so - log out from the leftmost icon lower rightside of the app menu,

@Aravisian

On your GDM Login window, click your user name as if to change user- but instead, click the gear icon that should (But maybe won't) appear next to your name on the right side. If it does, a drop down menu will appear offering the Desktops - Choose XFCE session.

See above.

I am doing something wrong? Where is it?

[Aravisian]

That is GDM, not LightDM

@Aravisian

On your GDM Login window, click your user name as if to change user- but instead, click the gear icon that should (But maybe won't) appear next to your name on the right side. If it does, a drop down menu will appear offering the Desktops - Choose XFCE session.

Yeah I got in. Is it supposed to look like this

If yes how can I get rid of way that taskbar looks?

Yes.
Right click the taskbar and hover over Panel. Slide to the Right arrow (Menu arrow) and select Panel Preferences.
At the bottom - Length - slide it to 100.
Select any other preferences you want on this tab.
Select the third tab - Items -

Remove or add any items (launchers, etc) you want. If you are Used to the Zorin Menu on the Left, then click "Add". Scroll to the bottom and select Zorin Menu Lite.
Select it by clicking, then click the Up Arrow until Zorin Menu Lite is at the top.

Now open The App menu and select Settings - then Appearance. Choose any theme you want.
From the App menu, select Settings - then scroll all the way down to Window Manager. Unlike Gnome, XFCE has a fully functioning window manager that you can adjust as you see fit.
Choose the Window Manager theme. You can also explore the other settings there - or check out Window Manager Tweaks. But in Tweaks, be careful of what you select. There are a lot of options.

And you might wanna do something about that hideous background wallpaper:P
Right click anywhere on your desktop and choose desktop Settings.

Now that you have your themes selected, you may want to re-open Panel > Panel Preferences and click the middle tab Background and explore the options there. You can set a background image to your panel, change the color or any other customization of its appearance.
