OS X :: How To Use Gmail In Geektool
Mar 15, 2009Geektool 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.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mimicking Gmail Functionality Without Using Gmail
Apr 27, 2012I'm trying to think of a way to mimic Gmail functionality without actually using a Google/ Gmail account. My work email account is an imap account which I would like to use on my Macbook, and also my iPad. The ideal situation would be for all of my folders, inbox, and sent emails to sync as if I were working on the same device.In other words, I would like to write an email from my iPad only to come back to my office and find a copy on my laptop. Is this possible? Is it merely a matter of adding the imap account to my iPad?
I currently have the account set up on my Macbook and iPhone. The iPhone functionality isn't great. Emails which I send from my iPhone do not appear in my sent emails on my Macbook. I'm looking to remedy this.
Info:
Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)
Applications :: Geektool Instruction?
Dec 16, 2010Is 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 RelatedApplications :: GeekTool Cal With A Difference?
Jan 20, 2009 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.

Applications :: GeekTool Improvements?
Jun 4, 2009Seeing as GeekTool is old and inefficient, I am considering creating a new tool that is less of a burden on system resources.

Mar 23, 2009I'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:

Applications :: How To Get Geektool Desktop Advice
May 3, 2010I 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!

Oct 24, 2010I bought a MacBook Pro for a month ago. Generally I'm very happy with my new device, but I'm not really satisfying with the way I'm using my GMail right now. First of all, I do really like the GMail Offline feature since it speeds up the work with my inbox. Sadly it's not implemented for either Chrome or Firefox for Mac. Right now I'm using the Fluid to gives me a separate App for my GMail. But again, the Offline feature is not available. Since I further like to get a Growl-notification when receiving an email, I have installed Google Notifier. How are you people using your GMail / Google Apps on your Mac? I prefer the online webmail instead of using IMAP.

Apr 4, 2010I've exhausted the best part of my brain looking for a way to continue using my venerable Apple iBook, OS X,10.3.9, Mail 1.3.9, all of which I still revere. It works fine for me, I'm mostly an email kind of guy who works off his lap while gmail labors in the background. When things were harmonious, Mail and gmail worked well together. For the past 10 days, Mail has neither sent nor received a single piece of mail. (Happily, I'm not totally dead, gmail has been solid as a rock. To remedy Mail's failure, I need Google's configuration instructions to start looking for errors in my settings. I'm an inveterate tweaker, and I'm sure I tweaked something when I should have baked a cake.
Well meaning friends have repeatedly referred me to Google's web site where the elusive "configuration instructions" for Mail.app can be found and I must repeatedly tell them that the instructions at the web site are for Mail 3.0 and up. Remember, I need the settings for Mail 1.3.9! I should state now, I have no interest in IMAP, I use POP exclusively. Be there someone.
OS X :: Gmail Not Getting New Messages?
Nov 9, 2010So I have gmail set up on MBP 13". For some reason it keeps loading my sent items and storing them in a folder called "Recovered Messages" and it is constantly reloading this folder with items that were sent back from Oct 29th specifically one item that I keep trying to move to the trash, but it keeps trying to move it back to the recovered folder? This is screwing everything up and is not allowing any messages to be brought into the inbox, I may have screwed something up because now I can not get any new messages and am not alerted to new messages with the postage stamp icon!
So is there a way to start over from scratch? Basically just wipe out the gmail account and re-setup what I have? I can login to it using Safari and everything is fine, but that just seems like a waste when I could one-click the postage stamp and have instant access to my email. I have searched and searched and could not find anything specifically for this problem and even tried gmails website to no avail.
