try it with python:

#!/usr/bin/python
import datetime
diff = datetime.datetime(2007, 7, 21) - datetime.datetime.today()
print diff.days,

(instead of 2007.7.21, insert your target date)

then run that script from conky.

It's kind of scary that 7/21 is my target date. Are you an HP fan?

haha nice!
no, i'm not a particularly big harry potter fan (nor a hewlett packard fan, for that matter... )
i just picked the date at random, a month out from the today of the post.
didn't even realize that's when the next hp book's gonna be released.

I think it's awesome!!!! I am curious how you got a screen shot while rotating your cube as I tried and I couldn't do it? Is it just a picture with an external camera or can you set the screenshot thing to wait a few seconds then take the screeen shot? Awesome work though!

Any idea what shade of grey i could use to make the text visible on my light coloured wallpaper? I'm using black now instead of the default "grey, lightgrey" and i don't quite like it.

[Dragonbite]

This is great!
I've fooled around with Torsmo for a while and it works nicely for the most part, but I love seeing what other people have for their code. gDesklets, for my system, takes too much resources (it's an old, weak computer).

I copied the OP's code to give my self a start (I'll post when I get something nice).

BTW, how do I make it show up on all of my desktops automatically when I boot up? I'll have to see the performance hit and whether it's worth it, but I'll give it a try.

My goal is to have all of my monitors on the desktop, through something like this, in Xfce and then remove all of the panels from the desktop completely (since the entire main menu is available on a right-click or bound key, as well as a list of all desktops and open apps via middle-click).

I used the gnome screenshot utility and used a 6-7 second delay. Thats it.

Tried it. It's way to light... can't see anything.
