Which Puppy do you try? I'm using Slacko 5.7 but I found that 4.20 looked the bestUbuntu is nice, Puppy is pretty good too but what are the ones with the best looking GUI?
Cinnamon is pretty nice. Might be the best out right now. Eye candy and open source operating systems don't usually go hand in hand though. Especially when it comes to a gui interface. Once you get into the menus they are all pretty plain.
Are you sure you're not looking for something like conky? That would dress up your desktop. It's not my thing but it might be what your looking for. Here's an example I found using Google images.
