First things first.

Please try to use correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. You
may have noticed that other members of this list take a little effort to
make their messages easily understandable.

For every bit more difficult you make your message to read, it becomes
less likely you will receive a response.

Now on to the question.

There is way more to this question than just the '.xinitrc' file. Most
of the configuration that can be done to make your desktop look _COOL_
is done in your window manager's rc file.

There may be several files that you need to edit in order to achieve a
desired appearance on your desktop.

For example, much of my old configuration was established in my
'.fvwm2rc' file because I used to use fvwm2. 

Many people make their rc files available on their web pages. You might
try searching for examples of desktops frmo your favorite window
manager.
