I'm aware that there's a stickied thread for screenshots, but I prefer this concept that I got from other forums. Hopefully this thread stays alive for a bit. :D

Just post your desktop and rate the one above yours. Go ahead and keep the images a reasonable size. I won't ask you to give the names of everything and where you got it from because no one remembers it anyway.

Give a score out of 10 in each category:
-Style
-Originality
-Neatness
-Overall

To start off here's mine.

I already posted so I won't rate yours. But nice over-the-top pinkness, I guess it goes well with your pink One. :)

Hmm, I do think I have to rebut your choice in originality score. I doubt you'll find a desktop much like mine in the rest of this community!

Black themes though, I see them everywhere...

Well it is a unique theme, but the color scheme is not original.

I see what you mean. I do quite like your desktop, it's very smooth-looking, especially the window theme, it reminds me of silicon.

Even though it's plain, that's a dang nice wallpaper. The window theme gives off a whimsical feeling--I think it's fitting for the eeePC. And that terminal is neat.

i don't get the whole "post yours" after we rate yours. just in case someone rates it so low you can go back and nitpick theirs?

Uh.. no. It's a chain thing. Every person rates the last one and posts their own.

In response to Vostrocity:

Style: 7/10 I like the dark theme.
Originality: 5/10 So-so. It's okay.
Neatness: 6/10 I like the sparse dektop. The top bar is a little cluttered, though.
Overall: 7/10 I like the way the desktop colours go well with the application colours.

Style: 4/10 Nothing personal, just not my thing.
Originality: 8/10 Pretty original except for the human icons and GTK theme (Has been used too many times).
Neatness: 9/10 Very neat IMO.
Overall: 6/10 Really neat and original, but not my style.
