You're supposed to edit .vnc/xstartup on tightvncserver side before
starting tightvncserver.

Something like this should do it (.vnc/xstartup):

#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
/usr/bin/startxfce4

Forget about tightvncserver, it cannot do that. Use:

apt install x11vnc

x11vnc -display :0 -auth <X_AUTHORITY_FILE_FROM_RUNNING_X>
