I have a soft spot for desktops that actually look like desktops. Alec’s desk fits the bill perfectly and actually looks like a desk surface with objects in the corners, with plenty of room for real work and a little tweak to customize it.
If you want your Mac to look the same, here are the components you’ll need:
- My Desk Mock Up Wallpaper by RR
- Finishing customization and Übersicht widgets for OS X, which we talked about earlier
- Sidebar widget for Übersicht
- Morning clock widget for Übersicht
- Inspirational Quote widget for Übersicht
- Countdown widget for Übersicht
- YouTube video widget for Übersicht that actually playsthis video on the iPad screen at the bottom of the screen, just hidden behind the bottom of the screen.
- LiteIcon Mac utility to quickly change system icons
- All White Icon Pack for OS X
- Tool settings dock cDock
- Bartender utility for Mac to customize the menu bar
It’s a lot of moving parts, but it’s a particularly carefully tuned desktop. However, the pieces fit together well, and if you didn’t know from looking at this, you wouldn’t think it had so many widgets included. If you have questions about any of these, or want to know how Alec managed to get one widget to work that way, or how it works, visit his Kinja blog (link below) to ask your questions.
