^Just because I said some crap, here is an old screenshot of the Overman gui (default) sort of at it's prime (it's a little stripped down these days as it's being rebuilt back up)
For some reason for a while the root hub (directory) name was being printed in the command prompt. I think now the root hub is named after the machine, but it isn't printed by default...
The crap in the background is just a window into my homebrew graphics suite which is actually a lot more sophisticated than most commercial suites in many ways... or at least I'm constantly running into brick walls with commercial suites, so I have to use my homebrew suite to achieve stuff they simply can't do (sometimes complicated most time really stupid stuff) ...plus I like rolling my own cause I like to use a flight simulator joystick for modeling, and for some reason that is a feature not really supported by any Maya/3Dmax suite I've ever worked with. I've never understood why people would rather break their wrists trying to rotate a model around with a mouse than fly around it with a joystick driven camera...
Anyway, first off, I said it looks better than anything out there... but in my defense I'm a hardcore minimalist. It definitely handles better, but whether it looks better (by default) is up to the eye of the beholder. It does a lot of technically amazing stuff no other OS gui does (Vista, Gnome, KDE, I'm guessing whatever OSX looks like)
Edited: The colour scheme is based on the background app. In this case the dominant colours are like the red to blue 3D glasses spectrum. On the other monitor would run a system graphing (debugging) application in the background and had a mintgreen/white scheme with red-orange selection hilight... very Ghost in the Shell if you've ever seen that movie... I'm sure there are plenty of screens of that as well.
