I reset xfwm4 from settings editor. Right clicked on xfwm4 and hit reset. After doing that my title bar won't function properly. I noticed my window buttons changed also the command i use to have dark title bar:
env GTK2_RC_FILES="/usr/share/themes/elementary Dark/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
does not work anymore.
I need to revert back to default Xubuntu settings somehow. Before restarting title bar was always white even when using dark themes.
Edit: Sharing more info on the matter.
Firstly i think my title bar -using numix theme- was kind of dark before resetting. Also my window buttons were different. Now i see only a cross, before it was a circled cross.
Before options part on title bar was not present even if i set it to O , now it is there when i use O.
I believe some other part was managing my title bar and i just broke that connection.

Reset with this as regular user (no sudo) 'xfce4-panel --quit ; pkill xfconfd ; rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/panel ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml ; xfce4-panel;'

Did you reboot after the command? Another option is rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 and then reboot

The XFCE desktop settings for the panels are stored in your home in ~/.config/xfce4/ and you should have the default home files for new users in /etc/skek/.
So you could "reset" your settings by copying the files from /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/ to your /.config/xfce4/ directory.
Then just logging out & in again should reload your desktop (reboot not required).
Using XFCE's own settings windows to change things (themes in Appearance, Desktop, etc) should work.
Since you said there are no files in /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/, you should be able to just erase your current xfce4 files in ~/.config/xfce4/ (possibly using a 2nd account, in case erasing the files while you're logged in might cause them to be re-written on logout) and things should be reset on the next login.
