Todays article is about the creative implementation of GeekTool and Yahoo Widgets by Zack. He has done an excellent job implementing these tools into everyday scenes. Check these out.
GRAFFITI
On this desktop, Zack chose to use Graffiti as part of his customization. He used several fonts in GeekTool for the clock, date, month, weekday, CPU, RAM, Uptime, Top Processes, to do list and calendar. He used Yahoo widgets for the battery and weather. Blending it all into the background. This design was also featured in Lifehacker.
SPIDERMAC

On this desktop, Zack made it in Lifehacker (2nd time) & Gizmodo!!! On Flickr, Zack states that from reading what his viewers had commented on the Graffiti Desktop, viewers would rather have everything easier to read, so he came up with this idea, which is ingenious. All of the text bubbles have information such as CPU, RAM, Uptime, a To Do list, & Hard Drive. He used GeekTool along with Yahoo Widgets and a few other cool tools. See below for the goodies ;-)
TIMES SQUARE DESKTOP

Zack used a picture of Times Square, which he photoshopped to better suit his needs.
On Flickr, he stated that his favorite part of this desktop is the calendar with a twisted look as if it were on the street (all created with GeekTool). Here are the tools and information he provided on Flickr.
INTERESTING BOOK DESKTOP

On this desktop, Zack used GeekTool on some of the spines of the book. (CPU, RAM, Hard Drive Space, Time, Date and others hidden in the spines.) He also used some Yahoo Widgets. He didn’t give too much detail about the GeekTool user commands on this design.
As you can see, there is a ton of information listed. Some of it is duplicate information but was necessary to include so that you may know what exactly was used for each design. Zack has all of his designs on Flickr and is seen in various groups. If you have any questions for Zack, you can find him on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/zackshackleton/ and he will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Sorry this was such a long article guys, I just really like the creativity that Zack has shown using several of the available tools for Mac.
