So I got the Geektool

Decided to go "old school" with the desktop wallpaper on my MacBook by using the default Leopard wallpaper--I like the color scheme they employed with this one..

I also started playing around with Geektool and I love it.

Loaded and got some thing's working but I can find a good script for the weather - care to share your script

Thanks

Not to rain on anyone parade but are these images the right sizes...? They seem larger than 800X600. >_>" I also like the minimalist black desktops.

As much as I dislike Windows, I absolutely love this wallpaper from Windows 7...
Search 'windows 7 characters' in Google Images and it'll pop up if you want it. (outdated link removed)

If you have a Windows 7 computer you can dig around a little and find this picture, copy it on to a USB device and then transfer it over to a Mac. I did it for my Mac because the way this is...it's kind of cute, kind of interesting.


And as a reminder people, PLEASE downsize your pictures before you post them!!

Here's a free tool: Download iResize for Mac - Batch, resize & compress images. MacUpdate Mac Software Downloads
