Share tips on ricing.
Ricing GNU/Linux is not made by only choosing themes and colors, but what software goes in your computer. "Display Managers" are the login screens, "Window Managers" are the part drawing the borders, colors, etc, and "File Managers" are what handles how you browse your machine. More info:

XFCE:
>Kinda crappy compositor (I mean it's fine if you want transparency and drop shadows, but that's all you get)
>Panel could do with a few more features, better notification area
Gnome:
>A bit of a resource hog, therefore not a pretty smooth experience (on my Phenom II x4 955/6850HD context menus take almost 2 seconds to close)
>Have to rely on extensions a bit too much
>Screen state where
KDE:
>Composition just kills all hopes of making it work well (silky smooth 30fps animations)
>Really requires customization after installing due to how defaults are set up to confuse anyone that has used anything else (specially with its start menu)
Cinnamon:
>Fairly buggy (it's prone to freeze, sometimes even at startup)
>Quite a few of its applets or extensions don't work on newer versions
>Lack of themes for the panels, you're almost required to make some yourself
MATE:
>More of a dinosaur than XFCE, it's just a matter of preference though
Unity:
>Severe lack of customization
>Not exactly light on resources

Taken from https://askubuntu.com/questions/58657/how-do-i-set-a-vlc-instance-to-run-as-a-live-wallpaper
Use VLC as your video wallpaper by typing in the terminal:cvlc --video-wallpaper --no-audio /your/videofile

One warning tho, some wallpaper programs don't work on DE's.
Another reason to use a WM instead of a DE ;^)
