Xfce 4.12. Everyone can help translate Xfce to their language now https://www.transifex.com/organization/xfce/dashboard
Moonlight or Lxqt possibly LXDE These are qt(5) rather than gtk+ based
(Where two or more programs are listed it means help is needed to pick the best one)
UI: SimpliX style, Ivy -dev icons, axiom theme on window manager. RGB subpixel smoothing. Hinting on full. Sans font. My own background picture.
Desktop info: Conky with all hotkeys listed on desktop, like in crunchbang. Super+W for web browser super+f for file browser and so on.
Video-/Chat and voip: Pidgin (GTK+) with pidgin-otr and pidgin-zrtp, or empathy as they have otr too now. #pyra and #openpandora by default Possibly ToxGUI (Qt5) Venom (vala/gtk+) tox client if they get video/encryption working.
Mumble (Qt) Psi (Qt) or Psi+ (Qt)

Looks good:
http://nuclearthrone.com/
Optional item: bootup animation (There are some good ones, depends on how long it takes to boot)
Optional item: sounds. http://cloudef.eu/armpit/renoise-test.ogg (no bootup sound unless exceptionally good and non-intrusive, could have a uniform one for inhouse ingame efforts)
Optional item: A video for introduction in ~/video.
Nice motd for terminal emulator. More background images. That cant hurt?
/Audio: Some nice chiptunes
/Documents: Quickstart manual, link to wiki, Declaration of conformity. (No paper wasted)
/Video: Intro video
/Images: Some relevant images, maybe put background images here.
Screenshot downsized from 1920x1200, so it doesn't look crisp
Thoughts? Missing programs, improvements, ideas?
The act of fixing little things that are seemingly irrelevant and not obviously broken for the greater good of visuals that are uniform and make sense.
Done right its beautiful, done wrong it looks actively ugly.
This process starts at the ordering and information stage,continues with out of the box experience. And finally, and most importantly, the little improvements to make the device pleasant to use.
