EDIT:..i first saw this on OT..mods move the thread...i search for your name in the forums...found that it's in this forum..and bam...i had to type all my stuff out again...so thank me jk hehe

i think objectdock or similar has addons to put weather stuff on it

I've never been a fan of transparent windows, but that does indeed look very cool *thumbs up*

hmm..is that the one w/ the transparent calender on the desktop wallpaper w/ your schedule on it?....

i guess it's user preference....i like to keep my wallpaper clean of most icons and such...
