I'm not sure whether this belonged here or not.. but I've been extremely curious as to what this person did with their desktop.

I've been itching to get my desktop to look something like this, but I have 0 idea to what he did. :|

He's using Rainmeter, which can work for either XP, Vista or 7, and allows full customization using theme packs.

Is the clock a customized thing? Or is it a gadget? I've talked to a few people, but have been getting mixed responses.

It's fully-customizable (but not a gadget, unlike Windows Sidebar which uses them) which means you'll have to edit it completely (the code, graphics and even the font family), but if you want to make your own, you'll have to read up on some basic theme-making tutorials on Rainmeter's site.

Anyway, after installing and loading Rainmeter, you can look around for pre-made theme packs (a lot of them, I'm not kidding) and copy them.
