This is my most recent desktop.

I change it probably once every 2 months.

Thought of making a Google Now inspired theme. Very much a beginner at this. Next step is creating the Weather widget, including forecast and correct icons..
The wallpaper is from a set of 4 wallpapers, changing from morning/day/evening/night using this tool https://github.com/pipwerks/OS-X-Wallpaper-Changer

Need a little help with a script

Hey,
I've been working on my geek tool set up for quite a while now, and there's one last thing I'm trying to sort out. I've got my overall CPU usage as a percentage, but I'd like it to show it just as an integer, without the decimal points after it.

So currently, it gives a result such as

12.34%​

and I'm hoping to get a result that is

12%​

The code I'm using for this at the moment is as follows:

Code:
top -l 2 | awk '/CPU usage/ && NR > 5 {print "",100-$7"%"}'

Thanks in advance for the help. :)
 
Never mind…

I worked it out eventually…

Anyway, here's my current GeekTool set up. The wallpaper rotates every hour between Spider-Man, the Avengers logo, Batman logo, SHIELD logo, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Captain America & Wolverine. All of which have a similar layout, and don't impact the geeklets. Also happy to provide any scripts if people are curious. :)

I really liked the google now inspired desktop from above and changed it a bit for mine

Edited to show new flat icons. I hope the new look of OSX is similar to these icons.
I got the icons from http://appicns.com/ if anyone is interested.

Question

Does anyone know how to make the AM/PM uppercase? cause mine seems in lowercase and I'm using the code 'date ''%p'' but I can't make it uppercase, i've tried changing fonts also.

Did you try changing "%p" to "%P" ? I thought I read that somewhere but I'm not sure. Worth a try though.

How did you customize apple logo on status bar?

Use this.
Code:
myCPU=`top -l 2 -F -R | awk '/CPU usage/ && NR>5 {printf "%d", $7+0}'`
myCPU=`expr 100 - $myCPU`
echo $myCPU'%'

That looks awesome!!!:) I love the Iron Man one, what scripts did use for this?
 
I updated my 'widget' to resembly the Google Now widget better, and tried to copy the Google Now inspired Clock Now widget from Android. Still working to get the weather icons for the next 2 days working.

Going to change my icons to the flat ones posted above, they look like my icons on my Galaxy Nexus :)
The font I use is Roboto. The weather is an edited script, need to clean it up. The icons come from Google Now.
The battery icons are also inspired by Clock Now, the backend is a different battery icon (with flames etc), I added a check for charging, so that the icon changes when it charges :)

Thinking to pack up everything in a zip when it's working completely, and share it with the world.

Is there a way to move all the widgets at once?

Can you add volume indicator please?
