Here are some patches for the default Application Manager, Control panel and Games Wrapper. It gives an easier to use look to the Application Manager and allows Control Panel to be fullscreen.

Gweled is a different version of battlegeweled, but one I find much more enjoyable.

Here and here are a couple of mods I'd love to try out but which seem no longer available. I'm particularly interested to have multiple desktops so that I could have a script which tied the switch to screen rotation. It would mean I could actually have a background image again.
