wow...This is an awesome desktop. I have a couple questions:
What are you using to display your itunes info?
How do you have your adium set up?
How is you your note transparent?

Thanks!

Like I mentioned in my post, GeekTool. I use GeekTool for the bars on the bottom, the To Do list, date/time, and iTunes display. As for Adium, it's nothing special. Just fiddle with the display settings. You can set Adium to display your contact list as a "borderless window."

Purchasing Germany, huh? I've considered buying a country or two. :p

Haha, actually, that's because my friend read "Gardennay" as "Germany," and upon commenting on it, I put "Germany" on the list, then "Kill David" under my To Do.

http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektoolGeekTool. As for the dock, I used CandyBar to insert in blank .PNGs to get the transparent look. You can just edit your dock resources yourself though. And I used TinkerTool to get the dock in the bottom right corner.

If you wanna see more fancy desktops, much more impressive than mine, head over to the MacThemes Forums and check our their screenshots thread.

Google's your friend. Apologies for the warranted laziness on my part. :eek:

GeekTool for the clock and calendar. Thanks, cleanup!
Onyx for the dock location and faded/minimized icons.
Uniform icons are custom.

I have about the same contact list, Only I am looking for a SUPER minimal messaging theme to go along with it. Just a plain white box that is as transparent pretty much exactly like the buddy list.

Got any suggestions?

You can't have a transparent message window, but "minimal_mod" is a good bet. I'm pretty sure it comes as a default theme but you can look it up on adiumxtras.com.
