The Gingerbread Announcer Desktop [Featured Desktop] - 7189th Edition

Reader andykashyap85’s Mac desktop proves that sometimes simplicity is all you really need for an awesome desktop that helps keep you motivated.

The simple OS X desktop consists of nothing more than:

• Wallpaper: Announcement
• Geektool Quote of the Day
• Geektool Time: date +%D
• VLC Icon
• See Andy’s full post for more details.

Want to create your own OS X desktop customization? Check out our guide to monitoring your Mac and more with GeekTool to add basic system stats and information, then learn how to add current weather and a desktop calendar with GeekTool.

Once you’ve created your own beautifully tweaked (and hopefully productive) desktop, post it over in the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr Group complete with a description of the programs and tweaks you used (and preferably links as well!), and we just might feature it here.
