Display iTunes artwork on the Desktop via GeekTool
I have to agree with Syko... I haven't seen my desktop in weeks. When would this be useful? If you are using it as a TV or a media center? ...and people that are using it for those reasons have Way too much money. :)

You guys really should start using F11. Not only does a quick tap of F11 toggle my desktop so I can see everything below, but it also allows me to grab a file on the desktop to drag to a Finder window or dock icon amidst this clutter. The F9-F11 toggle-switches are really useful and one of the best GUI improvements Apple has made in years.

What does using F11 have anything to do with seeing the desktop?

I suppose if you have an untidy desktop with 200 odd files pulled down from the web or whatever laying around, you won't see your desktop. If you are slightly more organized, F11 clears your open windows and reveals, drum roll please, your desktop. No stretch at all.

And I forgot to mention, it only takes a couple seconds to view the song title and artwork. So, here I am working while listening to tunes, and I have 23 windows spread all over the place. I tap F11, see that I am listening to the song "Smash it Up" by International Noise Conspiracy, and I get to see their album art. Hit F11 again, and back to work. Works for me. |
