About 15% of my salary goes towards the time I put into organizing my desktop icons.

It's only a bunch of basic time/date scripts I made for Geektool. Mostly using Proxima Nova and Helvetica Neue of varying weights for the typefaces. I also added a tiny bit of dropshadow so the text doesn't appear all jaggy, especially the thinner ones.

This is basically what the setup looks like:
Image

Portion in red box are dropshadow settings.

Here's the scripts:
Time: date +"%I:%M" <- For 24-hour clock, replace the I with H
Month: date "+%B" | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' <- Remove bolded portion if you don't want all uppercase
Day #: date +%d
Day: date "+%A" | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
Year: date +" %Y"

Off-topic, but:
Where does everyone get their icons from? (format doesn't matter)

I usually sift thru dA - but dA is meh now.
http://weloveicons.com/ is pretty good.

http://www.iconfinder.com/ sucks.

Link to the wallpaper used on your MacBook Pro please. GOGOGOGOGOGO :shock:

P.S: Everyone with the "tablet style" dock (like chrisorg), do you guys use XWD? It's the only software that I know that has that "tablet dock" but it slow as hell. Even makes some of my games run slow.

So you got your "tablet dock" using Rocketdock? Cool, I'm comfortable with that software. Could you link me the skin please.

What you will need:
  • Take ownership
    This helps w/ customizing other things.
  • Patcher
    This patch worked for me so... [Don't forget to make a restore point before you do anything.]

Maybe if your running windows 98 with a Pentium 2...otherwise no.


actually....... even in Windows 7 if you have a ton of icons on the desktop, fragmented hard drive, clustered OS, and never been clean. Then yes having a clean desktop will improve performance.

Your hard drive is your bottleneck 90% of the time with powerful computers. so if it has to load a billion things it will decrease performance.
