Thank you. ;) It took me a little while to set it up, because with Geektool, all you have is images, textfiles and shell scripts (with output).
Even the bottom right thingy is just a bash script with a custom font to make the circular graphs. There is (top to bottom) RAM usage, CPU usage and mouse battery status.

Haha that's what I meant :) Those are aviator glasses, and you put them on Darth Vader (if i'm not mistaken), so I called it Aviavader

Yup. :P It's based on a shell script involving curl, wget and grep.

my school desktop (we cant change the background)
Our background is a very badly pixelated knight. But the original background was white, and they used the fill tool to make it black. So the shading/outline looks horrible. :P

If you can have it run a script periodically and display an image, then yes.
Here is the script :
Spoiler For Spoiler:
#!/bin/bash

cd ~/GeekLets/XKCD
curl -s --location http://xkcd.com/ | grep embedding | sed 's/Image URL (for hotlinking\/embedding): \(.*\)/\1/w temp'
TEMP=$(cat temp)
rm temp
wget -O xkcd.png $TEMP
You probably want to change the download location (on the cd line). ;)
