Is this what it looks like in Trisquel Mini 7?

Are there any (easy) customization options? Things like colour, font, text-size, an icon dock.
Yes, it can look nice as you can see here: http://tutorfreebr.blogspot.de/2013/07/trisquel-gnulinux-60-uma-distribuicao.html
The link shows how Trisquel-Mini looks by default. There are quite some options to customize it.
Those are all screenshots of the default GNOME DE, not Trisquel-Mini.
Yep, sorry. You're right. That was the wrong link. Maybe another one can help: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cje9wvsBnw0/ToSeqAhQg8I/AAAAAAAABaI/V2fT04Q4_iM/s1600/Screenshot-8.png
Is that Trisquel 7's default appearance? It looks good.
Ok, this looks way better than the original lxde.
I mean, why using a color-gradient for the bottom bar which makes it look like a 3-dimensional body while all the icons look 2-dimensional?
What were they thinking??
Sorry about being late to the party (And yes, my post is a bit unrelated).
Yes, it can.
Does anyone know how to make LXDE look like this?
I played around a bit today with Trisquel 6.0.1 mini in VirtualBox and this is the result. This is what I did...

I'll try this out -- thanks Garsmith
It is as if default LXde is designed to be as ugly as possible.
However, when I used to have a 2003 laptop, i started to rather like it after a bit.
I wonder whether the unattractiveness helps with marketing. Maybe the idea is that potential users will think "LXDE is ugly -- and so committed to being light-weight!"
That sounds very probable. It looks like something from the past, a little bit like windows 95. But I liked it.
It could also be that they are so keen on other things that they just do not care about it looking nice.
