Minimalistic design combined with some translucency is pretty neat.

Minimalist designs are nice in my opinion also, but skeuomorphism also looks cool when its done right, think Windows 7.

Also, while this is a mock-up at present, I may expand my command line experiment thing into a graphical operating system if I ever get that far. I've not mentioned that it exists before because I'm mainly doing it for fun, I half expect I won't finish it.
