I have GeekTool 3 and weather is not working. I am trying to get the current conditions, temperature and a picture of the conditions, but it is not working.
Can someone give me the code and tell me what information to fill in?
I need a step-by-step guide to display my weather image in Geektool. I got the idea from here:[URL]/The php script part beats me. My weather area code is SNXX0005(Serangoon, Singapore).

Is there somewhere that has a step by step on using Geektool? I downloaded Geektool3 and was able to cut and paste a date script from another thread. It got on the desktop ok, but I want to delete it and start from scratch.. New to Mac and have been reading daily for hours to get up to speed but this one has stumped me...
View 3 Replies View Related I'm looking to modify the cal command that I've seen used for calendars in GeekTool to create a horizontal calendar.
I don't care about days of the week so much, I just think it would be interesting to have all of the days of the week listed out in order at the bottom of my screen, with the current one marked.
So, I need two things:
I need to strip out of the cal command the days of the week at the top (or repeat them the appropriate number of times, but I imagine that will be far more difficult) and the line breaks at the end of each week. This is the most important part.
Secondly, I'd like to find a way to add bars (like this: |) on either side of the current date without replacing the numbers as most of the calendars I've seen have done it.
Here's the code I've seen:
Code:
cal | sed "s/^/ /;s/$/ /;s/ $(date +%e) / $(date +%e | sed 's/././g') /"
If I can just modify that to get what I want, that's fine, if I have to use something completely different, that's fine. I just would love to have a horizontal calendar.
While diagnosing another problem, I removed GeekTool from my Login Items.
I now want to put GeekTool back into my Login Items, but I can't find any way to do it?!?! It's a PrefPane item, but there's no option to select.
Seeing as GeekTool is old and inefficient, I am considering creating a new tool that is less of a burden on system resources.
I want to know what features you would like to see in a new version of the tool. I'm thinking native support for basic stuff such as getting the date and time without having to run a shell command.
In Leopard Console I like to see: Log Database Queries/All Messages.
the path for GeekTool menu to display All Messages. Is this considered a shell or a file.
I have two geektool scripts written in to the app, but it wont display.
Any chance someone could look and let me know what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure its something stupid.
The second I exit this screen, everything goes away and nothing displays.
I've been learning and customizing Geektool over the weekend and I'm stumped on how to get it to display a to-do list that refreshes for free.
I've read many different websites on how to do this and I'm stumped. I don't really understand code, don't use iCal, and have no idea how to read my terminal info.
I'd like to use Geektool b/c of the customization it offers, but I'd also like to be able to use something where I can simply view my to-do list and it refreshes automatically. The thing is I need something that's free.
These are the sites that I've visited, but I get confused when they start talking about ~users and where to place files and editing documents. I've looked here:

I am new to GeekTool and am trying to get a handle on what the components of the scripts mean.
Does anyone know of a scripting diagram that shows what the different parts of the scripts do?
I have a question for anyone out there who is into customizing their desktop. This is my current desktop setup (for my second display) created with Geektool. I'm pretty happy with it but being as anal as I am I want the AM/PM lights to be lit properly.
I can create two desktop wallpapers but OSX wallpaper settings aren't detailed enough to change the image every 12 hours. The only other thing I could think of was to create a 24 hour video, 12 hours of AM followed by 12 of PM. Then use Mach Desktop to play the video.
Though this is crazy overkill and would unnecessarily use a ton of resources. Any ideas would be awesome!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a Geektool script that will just display the battery percentage. Its mostly just for show and to slightly clean up my menubar, so its not that big of a deal.
I'm also looking for a way to make the menubar completely transparent, not translucent, so the menus and menubar items are just there sitting on the desktop.
This is for Snow Leopard.
I just got a new macbook pro 13" for my birthday and I was wondering how would I achieve something like this: This is something I just quickly edited in photoshop to show what I would like. I know that I have to use geektool. But I am completely lost. If there any good tutorials you can send me a link to or even if you could teach that would be awesome. To be clear I would like to learn how to add weather icon, weather info, date, time and a cool transparent bar. I would also like to know how to change the font.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded GeekTool 2.1.2 and was fiddling around with some of the settings so I could customize my desktop/dock. Unfortunately, this black box in the upper-left hand corner somehow appeared and now won't go away. I then uninstalled and am now running GeekTool 3.0. The problem persists. Is there a way I can get rid of this box, yet keep the changes I've already made in my dock?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Geektool and added the date and weather to my desktop, but everything won't refresh (ex. my clock is stuck at 7:18 when its 8:10). I've tried manually setting the refresh rate to 1 second, but it send my CPU and memory usage soaring. I had it working perfectly before I added the Weather.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI haven't seen the sun all day. Not only that, but I can hear thunder, see lightning and judging by the very dark shade of the clouds around my house, I can pretty much say it's damn sure about to start pouring. What I'm getting at is that this widget has shown nothing but sunshine all day and all night tonight. The temperatures seem to be close, but that's about it. Just curious if anyone else noticed any inaccuracy with this Accuweather widget.

View 5 Replies View RelatedCan you recommend a weather app for SL that sits in the menubar? I did a search on macupdate and basically came up with many that were developed (and haven't been touched since) 2-3 years ago. Any that you can recommend that work well with SL and don't use a huge amount of system resources?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a good, free weather program. Not any of the ones that just put the temp up on your finder bar.
I have been asked to do a project at work in Excel. I am keeping track of around 7,000 properties all over the United States. My boss wants to know a lot about each one. I am really struggling with the weather part!! I need to somehow pull the temp and if its snowing or raining from the internet into excel. I have all the addresses and zip codes for each property. I was thinking i could write a formula that looks at an RSS feed or website (like yahoo or Google weather) based on the zip code of the address. I could also write the formula that pulls the weather to excel then VLOOKUP the zip. Does anyone have any ideas about this?? I am not sure what to do!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeektool is pretty cool, but it would be nice if I could tell how many messages I have in Gmail.
Unfortunately the only ways to do this either re too confusing or don't work.
Does anyone know if GeekTool (or any other similar tools) can be used to bring up an analog clock on the desktop? Especially with a custom-designed clockface?
