Hey guys, so I need a favor from someone who's good with photoshop. Pretty much I want to have something like this as my desktop.

but with this photo

I know ho to use GeekTools but in order to have the overlap effect I need someone to follow these directions with the mountains photo:
Simply extract the part of your picture you want in front of the time and date and save that object with transparency as a png file in a photo editing program.
so what
So pretty much I just want the mountains, and the sky to be replaced as transparent. If someone could do this that would be sick,+k.
Here's the link to where I got the photo: http://wallpaperstock.net/hd-wide-mountain_wallpapers_15988_1440x900_1.html

I saw this thread and decided to give it a try, here is my rough draft so far. Still needs a few things, but I like it so far.

Had to reinstall everything a few days ago. No linux distro for now. Anyways, right now i'm trying to get geektool to display the song playing in cmus (which is open in that terminal window).

Right now I can add to my to-do list by just opening terminal with ⌘-L then typing t add "whatever message". It takes virtually no time to do and org-mode takes care of the formatting. Too bad my awesome todo list was lost with everything else.

anyways once I figure out the cmus thing, and maybe get new emails/moodle posts on there, then it will be done. osx sucks but it's definitely cool looking.
