I like the default way.

I use Ubuntu and Gnome (Gutsy Gibbon and Hardy Heron Beta)
I don't use 3D desktop effects
The only reason it took 2 minutes to change my background in Hardy Heron was because I had to retrieve the graphic from the Gutsy Gibbon partition.
It has actually taken me longer to configure Firefox 3 in Hardy Heron than it has to do ALL the modifications I've done to the desktop (well, all right, the only other thing I did was to make sure the icons were what I wanted and change the cursors.)
I think I qualify.
Then I'm not a default user, even though I don't use 3D desktop effects (if I want 3D toys, I can play AlienArena or Scorched3D¹).
But if it weren't for the logo on the Applications menu, you'd never know I have Ubuntu.

¹ But not FlightGear. I would never play FlightGear. Especially when I was working on a project for a client. Nope, never would. Never ever never.

i'm a messer.
I changed my background, my windows, my panels and buttons, all created by myself and i use magic effects, but i use Ubuntu with Gnome so im a customizated
Hmm. I used the default Fedora theme for at least 4 months after a fresh installation. Then I decided to change the windows border to an older Fedora theme but kept everything else the same. Now, I have some black theme going on with new icons.
finding cool themes, splash screens, and gdms is fun.
Its a GNU Dawn
Far as I'm concerned, part of the Linux appeal is customizing it to make it YOURS.
Want me to punchisize your face, For free??
Customized to the extreme. (to a minimal functional desktop, not to make it snazzy)
See my blog for my iBook to see my last conquest
Customization with different window managers and the like
