Slacko 5.7.2 CE with Old West theme including jwmdesk-manager's (unhidden) optional 2nd panel's yasis icon themed launchers, money-pouch png on desktop Save-launcher, spitoon png on desktop trash, and pwidgets employing roman4.png'd analog clock.
I could keep going (have more desktops), but my recurring style is aesthetic, simple, and not too technical or fantasy-oriented. I usually have Task Manager running for system resource info. I don't use wallpapers but change color a lot.

This is my current EasyPup desktop. I generally use a very similar layout for all my puppies/dogs/easyos.
New Laptop - ASUS ZenBook Ryzen 7 5800H Vega 7 iGPU / 16 GB RAM
Nice Moka panel. Looks a lot better than Moka as the traditional icon layout in my opinion.
I think it's the Xenial Teal that gets me. Messing around with 'Connect Green' the traditional layout picks up.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

My actual 'desktop' (wallpaper/icons) is pretty bland, just the defaults, as I don't tend to look/watch that very often (if I fancy looking at a nice pic, I'll just browse around for one that I like).
Voilà!

That reminds me a lot of a screen saver that I used with litestep on win98/xp called System47.
Maybe someone knows how to decompile .swf files and make use of it for others...
(Decompiled Installer contains trek.swf - don't recall where exacly it is placed)
take a look
I changed my wallpaper on my Raspup setup again. 
I am a crash-course Linux novice.
This is Fossapup with i3 window manager, a tiling window manager.
Tiling wm mostly have no background, no desktop icons, no menu, no ...
It needs a bit of configuring and tinkering, but I like this tiling wm. I stick with it.
It still uses ROX for the pinboard with desktop icons,
but because a tiling wm uses the entire desktop, background and desktop icons are rarely visible.
To launch programs most install dmenu with i3, but also findnrun, already in Puppy, can be used.
The menu you can see is not from jwm but from xmenu. I tweaked xdgmenu to make a menu puppy style for xmenu, like it does for jwm, icewm and others.
i3 can have a bar: i3status. As you see, the tray icons from Puppy also show.
HI again. I decided to start fresh on BionicPup because I couldn't get FossaPup going. Sorry. 
Anyway, here's my new Bionic desktop...again.

XFCE from Quickpup the installation utility?
Installing application packages is easy and using the built-in Quickpup, Puppy Package Manager Format, or the QuickPet utility, you can install popular packages very quickly.

Austere workhorse, my kind of setup. Mix that without so much need for configuring and tinkering and we have a winner.

Nope xfce packages from slackware 14.2, build from LxPupSc 20.06+3 by hand. I wonder why @peebee use slackware current as base for building Slackware-based Puppy but uses Slackware 14.2 as package repo on PPM instead of Slackware Current?
Hmm, let me rephrase that:
You CAN do a bit of or a lot of configuring and tinkering to i3 from time to time as you go along to set it up the way you want.
But it is quite nice out of the box on Puppy. It does not really need tinkering on Puppy.
Just install it from the package manager. That is all you need.
The configuration file, /root/.config/i3/config, is very easy, even easier than jwmrc-personal for jwm.
First tweaking you could do there is look for the line with 'exec dmenu_run' and change that to 'exec findnrun'.
The most difficult thing about it is to learn how to use a tiling wm.
You have to grow in it.
You do most things with key strokes, not with the mouse.
And you use the terminal a lot more because it is easier.
It is like learning to play a piano piece:
It takes a few weeks, but after that you do not have to think about it anymore,
your fingers are quicker than your mind.
And it is a lot quicker than the mouse.
If you have multiple monitors, tiling wm are really wonderfull.
Good question. I would guess it's about:
compatibility
package availability
one specific esoteric functionality
My other thought is that there's a QuickPup distro not to be confused with an installation utility of the same name. I've used neither.
I have really mixed feelings about Slackware and am safer on Upups, but I can't help booting it sometimes. It seems like Slackware is for code warriors who are Ubuntu-shy.

The reason: Slackware doesn't provide dependencies info, but another project Salix does, however Salix only provided 14.2 dependencies not Current. PPM needs dependencies to work properly and 14.2 packages usually work fine on Current.
However, I now see that Salix is providing "15.0" dependencies but whether these equate to Current I'm unsure....

Thanks for clarification, so that's why other slackware 14.2 apps that I installed are complaining about icu4c library even it was the latest icu4c installed. It still requires an older icu4c libs from slackware 14.2
I have asked a contact at Salix about "15.0" and he says:
Yes, it's tracking current for now. We will switch it to 15.0 when that is out. It's simply so that users don't have to change configuration for slapt-get between alpha/beta/final releases of salix 15.0.
so I may move PPM to Current at some point.....

A couple years ago my wife and I were fortunate to be able to vacation in Alaska. One tour we took showed us how to pan for gold and gave us about 15 minutes to use that knowledge. We could keep whatever we found. So I have a speck of gold worth maybe 20 Cents.
Far more valuable was my introduction to the iconography of the Tlingit and Haida people. This wallpaper makes use of some.
P.S. Those icons and many more can be found on the Web. Some are copyrighted. A careful exam of the png will reveal that whenever an image was displayed revealing a copyright, attribution will be found on the wallpaper.
