...I'm using LightDM and I downloaded the unity greeter and customized it for Arch; same as my wallpaper. Here's a pic of lightdm --test-mode: (The window is really small I don't know how to make it bigger so it looks different than it would if I were logging in but you get the idea)

both lightdm and lightdm-unity-greeter are in the AUR

Yep! What syre said!
I'll note that there are a few different versions of each so it might take some experimenting to get it to install. On my netbook I used yaourt and built lightdm and lightdm-unity-greeter with no problems but on my Desktop I couldn't get lightdm-unity-greeter to build and I haven't quite gotten it up yet.
Once you get them both installed just navigate over to /etc/lightdm and edit the lightdm.conf to use unity-greeter (you're going to have to uncomment the "greeter=" line), save that, then edit the lightdm-unity-greeter.conf and change the background to whatever background you use (The one I used can be gotten by search "Arch Linux" at www.wallbase.cc) and comment out the "logo=..." line so it doesn't show the Ubuntu logo.

Thank both of you very much, guys.. .)

I prefer to keep things simple. Just an ordinary, clean desktop works for me.

arabuli: that's a nice desktop, but i think you need to take notice of the forum rules concerning large images and nudity.
Btw: Tbilisi rocks, i had a great time there a while ago.

Two Xfce panels, top and bottom.
The top acts like the gnome2 environment with an applications menu.
The bottom acts like a dock, its set to autohide, icons are large, etc.
I have two conky configs I am currently working on, I plan to have four across the bottom soon.
Style: Atolm
Icons: Faenza-Xfce
Fonts: Ubuntu Light
Cursor: Vanilla-DMZ White
Xfce panel is a custom gradient I made in Gimp.

I've noticed a few people using an Arch logo on the 'Applications Menu' button on the panel but I can't seem to find a similar icon to use. Would someone mind linking me to one? Thanks

archlinux-logos has a good supply of icons. Just download it from pacman.

Playing with Xfce on a new crappy laptop
Compiz, Atolm GTK2 theme, AwOken icon theme. The Conky theme is a very slightly altered version of this theme on deviantart: link
If you want the wallpaper just do a google image search of "I see no God up here." It's quite common.
EDIT: Re-upped the pics because I fixed Conky

I'm wondering, how do you people have transparent panels with transparent Window Buttons Applet?
Mine is only transparent if I check flat buttons, but the current open application is not transparent.
I can provide screenshots, if needed :-)

Go to "Window Manager Tweaks" in your settings menu and enable compositing. Then just play around with the settings a bit. It's pretty straight forward.

Do I understand you correctly, everything is transparent except for the button of the active window?
I think this is normal behavior, at least it's the same for me (see my screenshot).
