Some time ago i made an list of eyecandy and desktopapplications for the Linux desktop. The list can be found here (it is written in danish).
Gnome-Look
KDE-Look
Xfce-Look
These sites offers eyecandy like wallpapers, iconsets, themes, splash-screens and lot more for Gnome, KDE and XFCE.
gnome-art
Gnome-art offers more or less the same as Gnome-look. But for Gnome-art there is a program, where it is possible to install themes, splash-screens, wallpapers and so on, directly from the program.
gDesklets
gDesklets is a program which delivers many small desktopapplets. With these you see how much free space you got on your drives, monitor the incoming and outgoing network traffic, get the latest news with RSS, or what about a nice looking analogue watch.
If you want to creat your own desklets, take a look in gDesklets Developers Book.
Adesklets
Applications for the desktop like gDesklets.
