2. Please keep the default settings for desktop widgets and things as simple as possible. It looks good with just the calendar, and lets people know that the widgets are there without making the desktop really busy.
3. Have you considered putting the cool lineart icons on the desktop as well?
4. I can't help thinking the wallpaper would look much better without the yellow - just grey.

Tray-apps can easily be turned off as well, although I've never found a need to turn them off on my relatively low powered machines. I haven't tried REALLY slow machines, but they are a special case. I HAVE found that while I play audio on some machines (even quite fast ones) torsmo and conky cause a glitch in the audio every time they update, which is so annoying that I abandoned them completely.On low-powered systems these can easily be turned off
Tray apps have a significant advantage over desktop widgets - they are more of a tool instead of just decoration, as you can SEE THEM without minimising everything So IMHO it is important to at least keep the clock in the tray. I am in favour of keeping everything though Or maybe having an option to turn everything on.
Sooo, I'm not saying "Don't use Conky", but I am saying "keep the tray applets please"... at least keep them in Puppy and easy to turn on.
