    But i found this while searching for some geektool scripts here. All the desktops there seem to be running os x. I think he's running candybar for the icons and dock. The "Gadgets" on the desktop are geektool scripts.

    @Seshan: When you get back from work, could you explain how to make the shaded color on geektools? And how about the dock? Thanks.

    K, Download docker http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/Docker-Download-28302.html

    To get the shade with geektools you just add a blank cell and you can set a colour and transparency. But I now be leave they are not using geek tool for the dock, but they are using it for the files that have the shade behind them.

    Here is a example of what I did to my dock quickly.

    I made one quite simple. Also i found geektools to be eating a bit of my battery life. So i removed the shells.
