Sure is mate

Been playing around with GeekTool and PS

Used PS to set up the wallpaper and then GeekTool to run all the active stuff in it.
Calendar in the monitor, current track playing, time in the vinyl and weather caused me some problems though lol

Have just added a RSS for Mac-Forums and CPU usage. Better than having usage in task bar.

Got some ideas for next month so gonna work on that and do some major tweaking.

Fun little app

How did you create that wonderful dock?

I disabled the 3d effect and I think I used a dark skin. The icons are these I believe: STYLISH WHITE TEXT ICONZ by =miscbeep on deviantART

Mate is that the weather setup from the link you gave to me in my GeekTool Problem thread ??

Looks good with the more info you have there. Like the cloud effect

Cheers

EDIT : OOPS forgot to quote you

This is @ dbnoise

Thanks, most of my weather setup was, all except for the icon I used a different code in the shell geeklet. You can get an image in yweather.pl though. There is a lot of information that yweather.pl can show. If you're interested I can post the code I used for the image.

Here it is.

curl --silent "http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USMN0503.html" | grep "forecast-icon" | sed "s/.*background\:url(\'\(.*\)\')\;\ _background.*/\1/" | xargs curl --silent -o /weather.png

Where you see USMN0503 you use your local code from http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast.

And finally to get the image, use the image geeklet.

file://localhost/weather.png

That should work. Good luck.

Once again thanks

Cheers

I just started using geektool last night so i'm new to it and I think I'm addicted already. I'm really looking forward to learning more about it.;D

 

[Ghostshadow]

Just made these changes last night. I had been using the default Snow Leopard look since it was released. Felt like a change. I am still working on dock icons. Mail, iTunes, Safari, Firefox still need to be changed.

Very nice. I'm glad there's some other King of the Hill fans on here. And I'm a fair bit amazed at the seemingly live desktop. Was that a calendar and weather updates I spied?
