That's true. My current layout editor is awfull.  But i will change on the next version. I'm writing a new layout editor that will be infinitly better.  And some more surprise to come in term of layout...  ;)

I think one thing is the frontend authors aren't always artistic.

Heck, I wrote my first version of jfront JUST so I could steal the teaser images for arcadeFX.  Heck had mine out for a year before ArcadeFX came out... I never ran it on my system with the default skin but ArcadeFX's.

Prettiest.  I still think most of the frontends out there still miss a bunch of 2d options that they could.  I've remindied it on my new version of my frontend, but am uninspired to make it ready for others right now.  Got it how I like it... stole the graphics from other sources that I need... and am happy with it.  I might go and try and fix it up at some point... but I don't see the need since I don't think I could ever come up with a skin that others will move to... and I'm not going to release with stolen graphics :)  So I steal for myself now.

Also, I think 3d frontends will become bigger in time.  I started rewriting my old 3d frontend (still think its cool).  I have it now working as it did before with a new java based 3d opengl wrapper.  And now I have to figure out how to add all my cool features that I like to work inside of the pacman machine that I've parsed.  This is currently the trouble...

Is there a front end that can show the desktop as the background?
I was thinking of using dremples as the background, and maybe having a menu over it.

youki:
I dont know what is "dremples"?

My Fe can not show the desktop as background, but you can use AVI files as background. So may be you can manage to have the effect you want.
