So I'm a noob...how do you get a snap of your desktop? I know how to on a PC, but there's no "print screen" button...

cmd+shift+3

It'll drop a screenshot of your desktop on your desktop as a jpg

Nice Wallpaper Brandon, can you give me a link?

Here's my Desktop for June; Again pretty basic I haven't dived into customizing Mac's UI because I like the default so much. The only change is I've got a bunch of castle wallpapers auto-rotating.

Alright starting at the top I got:

Date:
Day:

date +%A

Date:

date +%d

Month:

date +%B

Time:

date +"%I:%M"

AM/PM:

date +"%p"

And then i played around individually with the size, font and color.

Underneath that i got the Weather:

curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=YOURTOWN=c" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|C<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's///' -e 's/<\/description>//'

In the middle there i got my Song Info:

osascript /Users/COMPUTER-NAME/Music/itunes2.scpt

Which is the location of this script that you gotta save on your drive:

tell application "System Events"
    set powerCheck to ((application processes whose (name is equal to "iTunes")) count)
    if powerCheck = 0 then
        return ""
    end if
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
    try
        set playerstate to (get player state)
    end try
    if playerstate = paused then
        set trackPaused to " (paused)"
    else
        set trackPaused to ""
    end if
    if playerstate = stopped then
        return "Stopped"
    end if
    set trackID to the current track
    set trackName to the name of trackID
    set artistName to the artist of trackID
    set albumName to the album of trackID
    set totalData to "Track  : " & trackName & trackPaused & "
Artist : " & artistName & "
Album  : " & albumName
    return totalData
end tell

Underneath that i got my Uptime:

uptime | awk '{print "UPTIME : " $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " }'; top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print "RAM : " $8 " "}' ; top -l 2 | awk '/CPU usage/ && NR > 5 {print $6, $7=":", $8, $9="user ", $10, $11="sys ", $12, $13}'

Then the IP:

ifconfig en1 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}'

The Drive info:

df -h | grep disk0s3 | awk '{print "Macintosh HD:", $2, "total,", $3, "used,", $4, "remaining"}'

Aaaand the CPU Monitor showing all the running processes:

top -ocpu -FR -l2 -n20 | grep '^....[1234567890] ' | grep -v ' 0.0% ..:' | cut -c 1-24,33-42,64-77

Then i played around with fonts, colors and sizes!
All of them are shell commands. Hope this helps!!
