Desktop replacements

Well Ive been wanting to get my desktop a whole lot cleaner looking... Without this godforsaken windows look and issues with rainmeter.
Ive looked at litestep, but I dont know of anything else that may exist, for better or worse. Really, Ive got no clue where to start.
Any ideas?

You want your desktop to look neater?

Just delete all your icons and install rocketdock.

Yeah but talisman also has had issues like litestep's issues. I just surf around looking for schemes to tryout. The only way to find something you personally like is to search around for it.
