Alright s 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!!

this look verry nice, but where would i code that?

Use a program called Geek Tool. Just google it and you will find it, free, its confusing at first for some but once you get the hang of it, you can do all kinds of cool **** with your desktop!
