You can ask questions, but as im not a geek please expect basic replies. I work shifts so replies may be delayed / not immediate.

Could you post the code or source for your weather script? I haven't seen anything as clean as that in a little while.

Also a source or the code for the time would be much appreciated. Great desktop.

Thanks
 
Took me a while to get it how i wanted it,

Nice! I use circles as well. Two questions:

  1. How did you get the etched look?
  2. And how did you do the %? Are you doing some math at the command line?

I got the circles from the Disk Capacity Meter Script posted by D13t:
http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/geeklets/system/disk-capacity-meter/
- I edited Disk0s2 --> Disk1s2 for my second drive (terminal "df -hl" to get your drive location)​
- Etched look: I haven't modified the script or images at all, i think that the etched look a combination of the actual images and a dark background​

Here is the script that I used for the % indicators:
df -hl | grep 'disk0s2' | awk '{print $5}'
Again, edit disk0s2 for the drive you want to represent​
$1 = Disk location​
$2 = Total disk size in GB​
$3 = Used space in GB​
$4 = Free space in GB​
$5 = % Used​

Hope that Helps
 
Where can I get that wallpaper? It's awesome!

----------

This is brilliant. Could you post your script for the calendar?
Also what are you using to remodel the doc?

Thanks

Yes this wallpaper...with the ocean waves. Link?

Took 10 hours to finish this.
Bowtie theme: Metro - Blue

Added:
uk fuzzy clock​
Recoloured:
track battery level
itunes meter​

Here is mine. This is not on the main monitor, so that is why you don't see the dock or the menu bar

My first mac (havent touched one since 1992!). Week old. First attempt at using Geek Tool. Final … for now….

Memory shows breakdown of actual memory used (black=inactive, white=wired, and gray=active). Blue shows actual percentage of used memory as % of total memory.

CPU is similar. Smaller bar show system/user memory (gray/white). Transparent gray/black bar shows idle cpu.

What is your font?
 
Need a little help, please...

Hey, ya'll :)

I am currently working on a dual-screen Iron Man RSS setup, and I would like to have a one line calendar stretch across my 1920x1080 screen. So far, it is making it a little over half way there. I am using the following code:

Code:
echo
echo `cal` | 
sed "s/$(date +%e) / $(date +%e | sed 's/.*//g') /" | 
sed s'/Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa//g' | 
sed s'/  */  \|  /g' | 
sed s'/^  \|//' | sed s'/  \|//' | sed s'/\|/  /' | 
sed s'/\|/•/g' | sed s"/$/       $(date +%A)/"

Does anybody know how I stretch this code to reach all the way across my screen? Thank you :)
 
Hi,
I'm wondering what you used for the colourful circles in the middle and what they are representing. I'd be interested in the geeklet for that/those.

Thanks

I used Live Wallpaper for those circles.
Theme is Polar Clock.

I'm in IT, so I use GeekTool at work to keep track of the various systems and networks I'm responsible for. I also have to keep track of weather events in case of closings or possible dangerous weather (tornados and such). So my desktop is covered in tools, with lots of geekiness abounding.

Uh, the Adium buddies list on the left isn't part of my desktop, but it is a permanent fixture there across all my desktops.

Quite utilitarian, I think.

I would really like your awesome geeklets!
