Well then, here you go :D

I installed a few scripts, icons etc. and did some tinkering. Below is a picture of what it looks like right now. Mind you, first try.

Image

Top to bottom:

- Time & Date meter
- Simple Calendar script
- Now Playing winamp meter track listing w/ minutes seconds expired
- Hard drive space free

And below that, a clock. Now, I stumbled upon this idea by accident - I was trying to figure out the analog clock, and I tinkered with Pies.... And this sort of evolved into what you see here.

It's really simple to read, if you know how. The center ring are seconds. A full 360 sweep is 60 seconds. The blue ring are minutes, 60 of them. So, in my screenshot, we see it's close to six, the blue ring is three quarters round, so 45 minutes... 17:45 and... 34 seconds. I'd say, it's pretty accurate. It's kind of like an analog clock - running backwards! I wonder if there's a watch like this out there....

Next, I'm going to try a full-screen binary clock :D

Anyway. I've shown you mine, now show me yours, so to speak. :D
