Eye-candy for openbox?

I want to try OpenBox, and was curious what eye-candy people suggested.  From the screenshots in the art section I often see the following apps used with OpenBox: awn wbar fbpanel tint pypanel conky

I like a lean system, but would also like to be able to tweak the UI and make it fun to use.

As far as eye-candy goes, you can't go wrong with xcompmgr and awn.

Though my definition of "eye-candy" has evolved (devolved?) over some time, and now I'm pretty sure my shortlist involves conky and that's it.  Dzen if you're on xmonad, etc.

Haha, anything that adds to an otherwise empty desktop background should be labelled eye candy.
