setting for gtk colors to percolate into xfwm theme

Ages ago I found a setting to to enable gtk colors to percolate into xfwm themes.  Thus, by changing the gtk theme, the current xfwm theme, if designed correctly, would change its colors to match.

I have a theme that I am in the middle of and I want to temporarily disable the above feature to make sure the theme's tiles are all consistant.  The problem is, I completely forgot how to change that setting and no amount of googling nor browsing through the settings manager is helping.

I know I'm a dope for forgetting this.    Sorry.  Could someone clue me in please? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the link. 

The key passage from the above is:

Colors for an XFWM theme can be defined in the theme's themrc file. If they are not defined there, they are picked up from the current Gtk theme. The following colors are used:

So that setting I'd recalled does not exist. Oops.   Well, this makes testing my xfwm theme easier.
