Helvitreader Desktop Embeds Fluid, Other Mac Goodies

Lifehacker occasionally segments desktops and workshops to their readers – lately there’s been a ton of interest around Rainmeter for Windows. But today there’s a Mac OS X Desktop that’s kick ass.

Reader Cain Novocaine set up a really sweet desktop using Fluid, Helvetireader, Black Menubars, Mirage, and Opacity Folders (for the dock icons) according to Lifehacker. I even notice some pretty nice menubar icons as well. You can check out more of Cain’s tips on Flickr - whom explains his desktop with great detail. Great job dude - it’s too cool for my standard OS X machine.
