My Puppy is more gorgeous than yours!
Sorry guys, but nobody to beat Moat now!
Even gorgeous Spanish guys - my former favorites with PuppyEs and ShibaInu...
Moat, what is your detailed config, please? Fonts, themes, settings etc.? I have Openboxed MintPup and... "I want it all and I want it now!" (c)
P.S. Please, don't stop! Show us the beauty!

Aw, shucks... thanks, rodocop! 
Here's my Chloe Pup iso, with everything inside, if you'd like to download and mount it to copy over any of the individual elements to use (or just run/use the OS as-is!);
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209 ... up_R16.iso
It's big (~320 mb) partly because it contains so many themes, wallpapers, fonts, etc... a whole bunch of eye candy stuff to try out.
--------------------------------------
The default (olive-green) Gtk theme I call Greenbird-Sand, my tweak of the Bluebird (Zuki Blues) theme - found in /usr/share/themes.
The Openbox theme - Clearlooks-Dark Olive - is my tweak of Clearlooks Olive.
Fonts (found in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF) - system-wide and menu = Ubuntu, window titlebars = Cherry Cream Soda, Pwidgets conkies' = Eurostile, Galculator results window = Play Bold and buttons = Eurostile Bold.
Menu button(s) can be found in /root/.config/lxpanel/menu_buttons/.
LxPanel background images are in /usr/share/lxpanel/images.
Of course, wallpapers are in /usr/share/backgrounds.
System-wide icons are a custom version of Elementary, named Elemanila - found in /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/.
Wbar custom icons are in /usr/share/icons/wbar.
The Pwidgets/conkies (A_pSystem_Combo & Weather_Station_Forecast), their associated Lua scripts and clock skins can be found scattered about the /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets directory. May take a bit of fiddling to get those to work on your MintPup...
---------------------------------------
Dougal's and SNS are broken in Chloe Pup, but Frisbee works fine... otherwise, everything else seemingly works splendidly, and includes a tweaked Firefox 44, Sylpheed, Deadbeef, Smplayer, GIMP, a nice selection of games... and many more useful apps as provided by our great, talented forum members.
Have at it, all - I hope some aspects may be of value.

Wow, Bob!
This actually is much more than could even imagine asking you about! Thank you veru much - I'll gibe a try to your puplet in my small contest - and it has good chances to stay here as the top puppy build.
My previous favoutites were MacPup, PuppyEs, Amipup and Akeeeta while I found many others good and pretty but most of times something wath wrong here or there.
And main origin site of all this buzz is in my head, sure! I just too like to switch between puplets to try them all! So much beauty and computing fun are here!
P.S. I think I should post my screeny too. Just to be honest
But also I should as it's a real sin to hide any piece of beauty from people!
This is PuppyRus IceWM with some my tweaks about look and feel:
- IceWM themes - ShikiMiki at left and Arcanos at right;
- main font - Terminus;
- wallpapers from the default set of PuppyRus distro.

Very glad you're enjoying it, rodocop! I really like the Arcanos theme you posted, with it's toolbar's subtle gradient shade of tan (thanks for the link - I'll be giving that a try!).
Actually it's a bit strange to see someone else (from Russia, the other side of the planet, no less [wave!] ) enjoying my own, very personalized Pup... very cool! I am just a hobbiest/noob hack at this stuff, though - so expect to find plenty of little "puppy messes" left around this "house", if you dig around.
Hi musher0 - yes - Precise 5.7.1 Retro version - so it contains a boatload of extra drivers, and an older kernel... good for a wide variety of older hardware. I think Barry's Precise 5.7.1 Retro is my favorite all-time Pup - just works, straightforward, stable as a rock, and recent enough libs to run most new-ish apps. Still being officially supported by Ubuntu for another year or so, too. I've thrown soo many noob hacks/experiments at this pup, and it just keeps on tickin'... a great experimenting/learning platform.
Really dig the looks of your work with Echinus WM, BTW... nice, clean, unique and elegant/classy!

It's impossible not to enjoy your puplet! So much job done! So much customization! All what you need present in right places and working like it should!
Sounds plain and clear but I've almost haven't ever came across puplets that do fit this.
Yours is the first one. Really.
And also I'd read now the Conky-thread and I'm really impressed once again! What a research, testing and creative job in the field I even can't imagine myself in!
One question related: all that pwidgets scripts - did you mostly collect them (where from?) or contrary - they are your own things like finetuned weather applets?
And one more - I tried to change the location code in Yahoo based conkys for my city, but it doesn't show anything while your code works fine - is this Yahoo limitation for data API (show only US locations) or should I find correct code? (I used RSXX8646 for St.Petersburg, Russia - as it shows this code on the corresponding web-page; but some services do change their codings like Accuweather did - maybe Yahoo behaves alike?)

Hi rodocop!
The Weather_Station_Forecast is my own modification & fix of the original Pwidgets Weather_Station, and the Sys_Activity and pSystem configs are ones I threw together myself - by just copy/pasting individual elements of conkys that I liked, into a single config file. Fun!
https://weather.codes/ Beware - use Ublock to block that little airplane... otherwise, it's little spinning propeller's script really munches away at the CPU!
Some of the other weather scripts appear to require digging around Accuweather websites for a location code if outside the USA (where it only requires a zip code). I'm not sure just how to go about doing that, or where to specifically look. I'll have to play around with those when I get some spare time.
Thanks again for the compliments, and glad you're having fun with it! I am too!!

Most are the original, included Pwidgets scripts (I may have modified a few, like adding a Lua semi-transparent background), but I've added a few "regular" conkys to play with, too, that I've found scattered about the 'net (like the conky5 and Conky_panels).rodocop wrote:... all that pwidgets scripts - did you mostly collect them (where from?) or contrary - they are your own things like finetuned weather applets?

I can't say for some of the weather scripts, as I haven't tried/tested them all. But for my Weather_Station_Forecast or the original Weather_Station, I have RSXX0091 working here, for St. Petersburg - found via this website (which, if you haven't noticed, is already bookmarked in Chloe's Firefox - scroll down the page to select your country) -rodocop wrote:...

After closing any one of many capable applications n'gettin' busy, of course. That's the beauty of it - Puppy is perfectly capable of doing both - function good and look good. Not enough attention gets directed towards the latter (understandably - as it takes a lot of time!). And there's plenty of solid functional advantages to be found and improved apon, within the dirty little details of "appearance". Makes for a faster, easier and more "pleasant" workflow. More better, at an insignificant cost/overhead.
Nothin' wrong with that!

And new screeny once again:
PuppyRus-A-x64
- XFCE with AlmostDark (default there) theme
- Zekton font
- My own smartphone (Moto Droid RAZR HD) photo of river Moyka in Saint-Petersburg:
the leftmost house - just the very edge of it is visible and overlapped with left-side panel - is my parental home, where I have lived for almost 30 years and where I'm coming time to time last 12 years...
Not very good shot at full zoom but that's just the phone...

I try using img tag, but it is very big size.
