    First one is simply KDE with a widget application called Karama running.
    Second screenshot is basic GNOME with widget application called gDesklets.
    And the last one is blackbox with absolutely nothing special to it.

    I have gDesklets on mine, what do I do with it? What is widgets? Mine looks so plain, how do I do that stuff? I'm very new to Linux.

    You use it. Go to http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/ and those little visual tools are called widgets, download what you like, and run them using gDesklets.

    kde-look and gnome-look are your best men for anything to do with customising. Even things that live elsewhere find their way here.

    Are gdesklets only for gnome?

    Gnome (gdesklets) and any distro with the gnome libs installed. I have them installed with my Xfce DE.

    I personally like Fluxbox the best, but you might like one of the others better. Test them all then make your own decision.

    Good luck with it!
