xfce - Installing xubuntu Desktop Environment on Ubuntu Server 14.04

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 Server. I've installed xfce as my desktop environment using the following command:


apt-get install xubuntu-desktop xfce4

However, the Graphical User Interface doesn't look as expected. Please have a look at the two images below. The first image is the GUI that got installed by running the command above. It's not appealing, being too raw, and it uses xterm as the terminal which I don't like. The second image shows the GUI that I would much rather install. Apparently, both GUI's use xfce as the desktop environment as per the instructions on the tutorial. However, no matter what I try, I can't get the GUI to look like the one on the second image. Any suggestions on how to install the GUI displayed on the second link below? Am I missing anything?


I would appreciate any feedback.
