Boy you aren't kidding, maybe it is best to ask for screenshots, or examples, so we can help you more precisely, aenimax.

aenimax - one + two definately gKrellM, just with different skins There's loads of extra plugins you can stick in for launcher buttons, countdown, weather reports, additional sound controls, etc. Check out the website and see what you can setup and with different themes.
