The Offshore Desktop [Featured Desktop]

The Offshore Desktop Flickr user headwhop26 crafted this wallpaper to be informative, accessible, and overall beautiful. Commonly-used apps on the side, a huge time and date display overlay with a world clock, and a built-in Google search bar all make for a Windows desktop that looks sharp and helps you get right to work.

If you like the look of this desktop and want the same effect, here's what you'll need:

If you need help getting all of the components to look just right, head over to tutorial on setting up Rainmeter to get started, or ping headwhop26 on his Flickr page. If you have a Mac or are running Linux, you can approximate some of the same effects using GeekTool or Conky, respectively.

Do you have a great, beautifully productive desktop of your own that you'd like to share? Go ahead and post it to the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr Group with a description of how you made it and it may be the next featured desktop.
