SuperMac Hero

For the SuperMac design, we decided to go with a cityscape background and used PhotoShop to create an alley with rundown, broken PC’s. And the Mac to the rescue. The tools we used to create this look was PhotoShop (for the design), GeekTool, Magnifique (Titanium), and the Moon Phase II Yahoo Widget.
The fonts used are as follows (they can be found at www.dafont.com):
Amsterdam Graffiti for CPU, Uptime and RAM
Graffonti Atomic Bomb for the Day of Week and Day of Month
Graffonti 3d Drop for the Month and Year
Here are the codes used in GeekTool:
CPU
top -l 2 | awk '/CPU usage/ && NR > 5 {print $12, $13}'
UPTIME
uptime | awk '{print "" $3 " " $4 " " $5 }' | sed -e 's/.$//g';
RAM
top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print "" $8 " "}' ;
Day of Month
date +%d
Day of Week
date +%A
Month
date +%B
Year
date +%Y
