Yesterdays edition of my Mac Week special showcased some cool and clever customized Mac desktops. As I had anticipated, I had a ton of questions about how to customize your Mac desktop in such a manner. So, I quickly got to work on this post that is full of tutorials, apps, and widgets that will let you customize your Mac desktop to your hearts content.
I feel it is worth pointing out that a majority of the really customized desktops are done with a program called GeekTool which you will see later on down the list. All of the tweaks that involve the use of GeekTools have a “GT” beside their title just to help keep things a bit more organized. If you know any other cool apps, scripts, or customization tips, please share them in the comments!

Hey cha!! Really a cool feature!! Quite attractive to communicate people to get the best out of the blog. Really amazing. . Actually, I wasn’t aware of this feature in blog, but certainly I have expended this feature for my website which is made for my cardiology clinic in Los Angeles. It is still in the development stage, but its having quite a lot features like this which would help attract patients and also keep a constant contact with them to clear their doubts regarding health issues immediately. . My website would look something like this given in showcase at http://www.medicalwebexperts.com.
