Seamlessly Blending Desktop Info with Your Wallpaper  Pin it
button big  Hi my name is Taryn and I am a desktop-aholic.
Sometimes it seems like I can't go a week without changing the
backdrop to my cyber-life. Sometimes it's pictures of friends
and good times, sometimes it's just a beautiful image I like,
and sometimes (like right now), it's just a simple pattern like
stripes or damask. But this desktop idea, spotted at, is
something that might have some staying power. It integrates
seamless information-displaying software with his desktop
wallpaper, creating the illusion that it actually belongs on the
wallpaper. Can you spot a few of the vital stats on the desktop
above? And what's on your desktop right now?  This industrial
desktop blends temperature, iTunes status, IP addresses, and the
date with the wallpaper in such a way that you can hardly tell

effect was accomplished using GeekTool, a Mac application that
embeds information like a text comma
