I think DCE Would do it with code - if there is a way to do it in terminal :D

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.

There is already a desktop widget for this - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44119

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.
