Lightbulb Desktop

I know this is different from the desktops that I have created in the past but I wanted to create something a little bit easier to read and something that had a lot more information on it. All text on desktop is created with Geektool and the taksbar is changed due to the Magnifique theme Kaer B3. The iTunes Coverart and information is created with CoverSutra. Finally, the weather and battery information is created by Yahoo Widgets. Look below and all links will be posted along with all of the Geektool Script. I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them as soon as I can.
