That looks amazing! Do you think you could give some sort of explanation of what each it does and why you have it (for example, on one of the side columns why do you have the software version number in a bubble? And how do you do it?)
Looks cool!
How are you doing that? What apps are you running there?
Well its just a couple apps really, though they are neat ones.
The System Monitor on the far left is called
X Resource Graph using a custom blue toned skin.
To the right of the system monitor, all of those vertical icon container things, is done by using an app called
DragThing with the theme "Let's Be Bad Guys".
DragThing is basically a better dock (it doesnt disable the dock though, it is still there) and allows you to file and easily access folders, urls, documents, and well anything else for that matter. Its completely configurable (hot keys, sounds, effects, you name it) and you can make as many floating holder things as you can think of. Showing an Apps version number is a nifty feature as well, as is the ability to show full paths via hovering over them, Like I said, lots of options).
And to quickly just explain my layout of these, the first one contains my harddrives, networked drives and any cds/diskimages, and trash and desktop. The second one, contains all active processes, excluding system processes(they can be shown though optionally). The next bar is like the dock, it has all apps I use, links to documents, URLs and Folders. Finally the last box has shortcuts for some most used things, especially a few one touch connect to server buttons, which gets shown by the up and down green arrows on the icons. Also this lets you put a trashbin on the desktop, which I kinda like.
Finally the white text at the top of the screen is displayed using an app called
GeekTool which lets a few custom scripts that I wrote output onto the screen. My scripts are
here, but be forewarned this can be pretty resource intensive depending on what scripts you use and how often they update.
Oh and that little thing at the bottom left is just a web radio player,
FStream.
