I was looking for Mac applications through Google the other day when I ran into this website (Vladstudio) that had wallpaper clocks. To my curiosity, I installed the Wallpaper Clock, which is free and added some of their free themes. What I found to be really unique about these wallpapers is that the clocks actually worked. Normally, I use GeekTool to produce my date, time, etc. but these functions were built into the wallpaper. The wallpaper that I used for the theme shown is the Metal clock. I still used GeekTool to add This Day in History and the Quotes using Kraken Thin for the font.  The website where I downloaded the wallpaper clock from has many wallpapers to choose from. Some are free and some are for registered users only. To become registered, they offer a Lifetime account (which is currently on sale for Halloween and never expires) at $19.99, a 3 Month account for $9.99 and a 12 Month account for $19.99. Below is the GeekTool command for the Quotes and This Day in History commands:
Quotes:
curl http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/feeds/rssfeed.aspx?type=quote | grep description | sed -e 's/\(.*<description>\)//' -e 's/<\/description>.*//'
This Day in History:
curl http://www.infoplease.com/rss/dayinhistory.rss | grep CDATA | sed -e 's/\(.*\[\)//' -e 's/\].*//'
This concludes todays customized desktop. Enjoy.
