I have no idea where to start with openbox. I got it freshly installed with archbang.
Now my journey to make it look better, any suggestions?

I already have a option to change my wallpaper.
I already have some sort of panel at the bottom.
Conky is installed.
I got all those things by default?

Just getting back into Mint again after not touching it for 6 months due to Mate not having a menu to change sound devices. The only flaw I can find with Cinnamon is that you can't put panels wherever you want(doesn't support multimonitors), it sometimes glitches out and has to be restarted often and it doesn't have a proper separator. Spent the last day and a half reformatting a few times and trying to fix a grub install which didn't want to get overwritten.
Pithos makes it totally worth it though, it makes Pandora absolutely amazing. The open source ATI drivers also let me toss my TV in with ease and watch movies in about the time it takes to turn it on, now if only my steam windows would stop running away from my cursor and disapearing off the screen forever when i try to move them..

[url]http://box-look.org/[/url] should have a decent number of themes for the *boxes (openbox, fluxbox, etc.) There are a good number of themes in the Arch repos and in AUR. If you find a theme you like you might want to look in the repos to see if they're there.

Not too much different from the last desktop I posted, but I have to say: holy [I]crap[/I] the Pantheon desktop's fast. Even more so ever since the project produced their own window manager to replace Compiz (it's called Gala, and despite only being a month or so old IIRC, it's incredibly quick and stable).

I like that. The DE is called Pantheon?

It's not a DE, more of a 'shell' with lots of modules (The dock/top bar etc.) It's by the guys at the ElementaryOS project.

And now my Desktop, with revised wallpaper version:

That was my Linux Desktop from 2011 when I was using Ubuntu.

Linux Mint 13 with Cinnamon. The GTK+/Metacity theme is Elegant Brit. I customized the panel myself to try to match it. Still working on the notifications bar.

I've had to retreat to GNOME Shell for now since Pantheon's bugging out (they aren't kidding about serious bugs when daily builds are available), but I've done some work to it already. Theme is Zukitwo-Brave (shell and GTK), icons are Gnome-Brave, fonts are Trebuchet MS 9 (bold for title bars), and for completion's sake, terminal font is Lucida Console 9.
