the message style is called 'ravenant'
and the black window/glass background is from 'Adium HUD v2'

How did you get the clear background with the ravenant message style?

I've got the HUD window style with the ravenant message style but i get some charcoal background instead of the transperant background.

i believe that the adium plugin for the HUD v2 is what gave it the background. but i am not 100% sure.
or you can go to the message style and add your own custom background and make it transparent
 
I'm currently fiddling around with Geektools.. I'll post up my awesome (crappy) desktop when I've got the scripts active!
 
Question, i just started messing around with Geektool and I am in love, it's pretty awesome in terms of the customization it allows you to acheive...but a have a few questions! one how do you get your dock to look like...

The one on this desktop? also the calendar laid out in a linear fashion...how do you accomplish that feat!? and one more question! the iTunes in the bottom left corner, is that only active when iTunes is open? and how do you get that there? is it through bowtie or coversutra?

thanks in advance for the help!

the answer you seek is posted somewhere on the " post your geektools " thread ;)
 
I have been looking and looking through that thread and can not find a script for the Linear Calendar...i cant seem to find how to change the dock either, so PLEASE, someone who knows how wanna help me out?
 
Slowly but surly I'm getting the dock icons changed, and even figured out how to to change the App,doc, and download ones on the dock. Lots of fun. :D

Got to work on the icon text size next. Hard on these old eyes. ;)

that "dock" is actually a blank geektool shell script. the easiest way to do this is to make the regular dock invisible. then like i said before create a blank shell script in geektool.

the calendar is called DateLine

that is Bowtie. theme is called Zukunft. in the bowtie prefs there is an option that says hide when iTunes isnt running. i leave it up tho.

The calendar you're looking for is called Dateline; it's a simple app you'll have to DL. As for changing the dock, I just sprung for CandyBar; it's a piece of software that makes changing docks and app icons relatively easy.
 
Thanks again For all the help! I guess now I can put up my first effort! way simple but that how I like it, more to come as i know im gonna have quite a bit of fun with this!

Found a much better background, simply stunning if you ask me.
