Clean and Functional: Desktop Widgets with Übersicht



+ Back in the day I used GeekTool to place widgets on my desktop. When that computer got stolen (PSA: get renter's insurance y'all…absolutely worth it), I never took the time to set it up again on the new machine.

+ This time around, years later, I decided to try Übersicht. The setup is simple, and the widgets are written using languages I can somewhat make sense of for placement and minor style tweaking (HTML, CSS, and CoffeeScript).


+ My desktop is now akin to a kitchen counter: items of often interest at a glance, space to spread out while "cooking", and clean and tidy otherwise. 


+ Visit a full gallery for more background screenshots with these widgets.

+ Additional macOS settings:
- Hide dock 
- Menu bar black 
- Hide menu bar
