Dot-matrix Year Progress widget for your Mac desktop
To add a dot-matrix year progress widget to your Mac desktop, describe it in DesignMyMac — “A phosphor-green dot-matrix board on black: the year and percentage done, a dot progress bar and the days left.” — and it designs the widget in any style, font and colour, then places it on your desktop behind your windows. You can resize it, move it, and edit it on its own later.
