Might want to recharge that battery. Also, you should rename the hard drive.
I cant its a bad battery and I don't like changing it because it looks very uneven and weird if I do, not much of a fan of doing so but I do every now and then. You should post your background.
You might enjoy this.
Geektool desktops. My original one is on page two of that thread. There are lots of cool desktops in there.
What version do you use? When I added the preference it showed white when I clicked on it. Im running tiger thats probably why.
Edit: Nevermind I got a modified 2.1 version that disable core image making it run faster.

It's Geektool 3.x (something) I think. Try this version. Keep in mind there was a GUI change between 2.x and 3.x. 3.x is a PITA, but it's much simpler than 2.x. You might want to pull out your engineering degree.
Omg is that from that nasa site from the telescope that takes pictures of solar nebulas and stuff? I always go on that site.

Ok Ill look at it cause I opened this one it works but Im lost after that.

Why does it bother you so much?
Lastly…my 1Ghz 17" PowerBook desktop now.
Notice the bar at top is gone. I had to take that out because it was causing Geektool to spike my CPU.
Oh…and the music app I mentioned earlier. That's Bowtie. Version 1.3.1 The latest (1.5) is Snow Leopard only.
I'm using Bowtie with the DSW (Do Something When) pref pane. When I open iTunes, DSW kicks in and opens Bowtie. When I quit iTunes, DSW quits Bowtie. This is cool because it means I don't have to remember to open/close Bowtie and I don't have to leave it running either.

Here's my iMac G5. Also attached is the image I'm using - it's the linen pattern that Apple has been using recently in much of their software. I quite like it. It's subtle and understated, but still less bland looking than a straight color. Tile it and it'll look great

I always get my wallpapers from interfacelift.
That particular is from here;

Oh I was wondering cause it looked familar and it is the same resolution as the telescope saves in.

EDIT
Anyhow, here's mine. Simple, didn't change much. I wanted to use the dock i was asking about + darker linen wallpaper, and glowing circles for drives with geektool and maybe something else, but without that dock i just don't feel like doing much...
