I don't really have a desktop per se since I use a tiling window manager (i3, to be
exact), but this is what my screen looks like when I'm doing some standard stuff.
EDIT: O/S is Arch Linux.

Thanks and yeah no probs.
First thing you will need to do is download and run this

Theme i'm using is

All instruction are in there. With the system files you will need to download a program called Take ownership
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2814-take-ownership-add-context-menu-windows-8-a.html
When installed, right click on the System32 and syswow64 folders in C:\ windows and you will see a option that says "take ownership" click that and CMD will open and run for a sec or two while it changes the admin privileges. Windows wont let you replace the files otherwise.
I used this Icon package for the OS icons, it comes with a program that does it for you. Tutorial inside also.

The dock is Objectdock, Objectdock isn't free though and you will have to buy it. For Windows 8 you will need Objectdock 2.
The icons are Token dark icons.

The clock in the top right is from a Rainmeter skin from

You will need to download and install Raimeter to use it though

Couple of notes, with the transparent program there isn't a way to save the settings. So each time you boot into windows you have to re-set the settings. Not a big prob for me as I hardly ever turn my PC off or restart it.
Also, to get it to run on start up you need to place the .exe in
C:\Users\*your username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
If you need any help with with doing any of it or get stuck, let me know.
