    date +%m/%d/%C%y

    should work

    EDIT: Just tested yep that works. Install Desktop command widget open its settings add cmd and type the above in the command field.

    That just displays a single calendar page with the day of the month so today is says 8

    The ability to adjust it using date formats would be worth while. Maybe the option to include a background image of your choice

    The datetoday widget is nice but not what im looking for, just some plane text to show date as 01-01-2010 (maybe with color selection) and a setting for system background (the black semi-transparent background) or a custom image, that would be perfect.
