An app to count down till certain day
Maybe put something like echo $(($(date -d 24-Dec +%j) - $(date +%j))) days into your bashrc. Conky should be able to display it nicely on the desktop.

And https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky is great for desktop HUDs. Very customisable.

Do you plan on adding widgets to your desktop in Sonoma?
What I could go for is something like Conky (https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky).

Give Wayland a shot, don't base your opinion off of 2013 articles!
Funny meme btw. Personally, I use xorg with 3 displays. Fortunately, the resolution is same on all screens (full HD). I use Komorebi for live wallpapers and conky for sidebar. It works flawlessly.

New Emacs frame parameter for transparency
Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that in January of this year Emacs introduced a new frame parameter: alpha-background. I wrote a little about it here: True Emacs Transparency. To my knowledge, this originated from a patch by Håkon Flatval in November of last year.

Two desktop clocks a lá Conky with Emacs
It was just a demo to show off that Emacs can be used for that purpose. For those two particular widgets, you will need Emacs with transparency patch applied, or you could create similar "widgets" that use opaque background for use with Emacs without that patch.

Emacs is new Conky!
Thanks to TheVaffels alpha-background patch, it is possible to write small widgets and show them in transparent windows a lá Conky style.
