I must be in the tiny minority here…I just have (somewhat of) a hard time seeing that much aesthetic appeal in tiling and/or the "terminals, terminals everywhere!" thing, and yet it seems like the vast majority of people posting to these screenshot threads are using tiling WMs like dwm, awesome, xmonad, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I do plenty of stuff on the command line, but I guess I'm just a sucker for eye candy, too. *hangs head in shame* If I'm in X (and I am 90% of the time, at least on my laptop), I want it to look all purdy with GPU compositing and everything (if I can afford it in terms of computing power; I can live with a basic stacking/"floating" WM on a less powerful machine). This should be rather evident in my own screenshots.

I don't think the people posting here are any less suckers for eye candy, just a different kind (anyone who spends much time worrying about terminal colors and fonts can't argue that). But for myself, I also like having a minimalist system, and so that dictates a certain type of eye candy, as opposed to the more traditional KDE/GNOME/Compiz spectacle. Nothing shameful about either approach, and I know that at least for myself, I certainly make sure to look at both ways for ideas with my own setup.
I laugh, yet the joke is on me

My first screenshot post here, of my Asus Eee 701SD running Arch with Fluxbox:
This is the latest in a monthly series, "My Eee Desktop", on my Eee blog "Eee 701 Planetoid" - this is the instalment which includes this screenie, including some details on how it was set up. The Fluxbox theme you can see in the shot, "TheGrid", is a single style file - you can download "TheGrid" here.
HTH :-)

This is pretty, really pretty!
Am actually considering to try this out. Would you mind sharing the details about your configuration? Is it heavy on your GPU?
EDIT: What I meant was: Is there anything else apart from the info on your deviant page I need to know beforehand?
Regards,
Kveras

@kveras - its all in deviantart.
The only thing I have to mention is that the top bar is Xbar plasmoid (which comes with bespin) and I'm using smooth-tasks plasmoid at the bottom panel.
About the heaviness ... well, bespin performs better then kwin for my system. Although my GPU sucks (ATi Mobility HD3470), I'm fully and smoothly enjoying with composite on.

I actually use KDE apps withing Awesome, as I prefer their look, feel and capabilities to those of the GTK options out there (pcmanfm is still pretty sweet, though, and Marlin is a great idea if they can get it working right). I stil can't get used to using Awesome as KDE's primary window manager, though, since Plasma, Nepomuk and Akonadi like to stick their nose in my business like a drunken J. Edgar Hoover. But of course, it seems I did something to bork my Awesome set up and, since I got a new laptop, figured I'd log into KDE to troubleshoot and take the new hardware for a spin.
@ atanas & kvaras: Bespin is just a Qt theme engine/widget set; KWin still controls window placement and movement, decorations and compositing. The elements of the theme remain the same whether the latter elements are used or not. The exception would be Bespin's ARGB transparency, which requires compositing, but toolbar and button animations, color gradients, in-window shading, etc. are 2D elements of the widgets.

Simply put, it's much more efficient way to use computer.

You might want to use a non-default terminal color scheme because that blue on gray text is painful to read.

Pretty much the same except for the wallpaper, and I switched up the gtk theme and icons (Equinox-Evolution-Dusk and Faenza-Darkest). I also changed
static const Bool resizehints = False;
in my config.h to get rid of the gap for urxvt. I've just been living with it and it started to irritate me. I thought it required the patched urxvt or something and didn't realize it was such an easy fix. Much better now! Go Cards!
