I got kind of a stupid question, but does geek tool slows down your computer or is it harmful in anyway??? I was thinking about installing it and making a desktop, but was just worried it might be harmful.
Geektool runs via Unix commands. Things like date and time are simple strings that just grab the information from the OS. As long as you don't download any strange scripts and tell Geektool to run them, you'll be fine. Plus, playing with it is tons of fun!

Found via Google Images. I'm gonna use it for a while myself.

It's an app called 'coversoutra' , really handy if you use iTunes a lot! I believe it will cost you around 1$
Just downloaded geektool. How in heavens do i get the clock and weather with date like you have it? Code possibly?
Thanks
Updated mine a while back. Changed to a side bar for most of the data, I quite like it.
The weather stuff (images, conditions, and forecast) is from my Ultimate Weather script. It's currently in beta, and there is a download for everyone at my google code site (check my signature).

im a n00b when it comes to this stuff so it took me about 3 hours to figure everything out and set it up. but it does what i want and looks pretty sweet.
Where are you pulling the reminders from and what script are you using to access them?
Thanks! I founded those text icons from the Deviantart website, and then use the program 'Candybar' to change everything.
