All using the 'Shell' selection:
Date: date +%d
Month: date +%B
Day: date +%A
Time: date +"%I:%M"
Alternatives:
Without the '0' infront of the hours 1-9, use: date +%l:%M
24 hour clock, with seconds: date '+%H:%M:%S'
24 hour clock, without seconds: date '+%H:%M'
AM/PM: date +"%p"
Font: Helvetica Neue (Regular, Bold, Light)
Weather (need Lynx) [Shell]:
Temperature: lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=YOURZIPCODE|awk '/Temp/{printf $2, ": "; for (i=3; i<=3; i++) printf $i " " }'
Conditions: lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=YOURZIPCODE|awk '/Cond/ && !/Fore/ {for (i=2; i<=10; i++) printf $i " " }'
iTunes [Shell]: osascript ~/LocationOfScript.scpt
Using Script Editor:
"Kohbens-esque" background for docks, see Melrose's post here.
Most people are using Bowtie to display their iTunes info though.
