If you read the sites about configuration, there are a ton of helpful tips, and prebuilt sets one can download. It you find that geek tool is taking up too many resources, lower the refresh times. Also, I loaded uptime, calendar, and a few other slow refresh commands. I found just loading the security, system and kernel logs works well, and is light on the processor load (since displaying logs is essentially a tail command: 0.1%CPU & ~30MB RAM). (Note: any command that self-updates in place such as “top” will cause problems since GT takes care of refreshing.) I already knew all the essential shell commands, so once I got a working version, it was easy to adapt to. (I wish it would optionally bring things to the front automatically for a second when updated.) My favorite feature is the ability to make things float over everything else.

Since GeekTool free and anything you leaner can be used in the CLI, you won’t be wasting money or time. If you know a few Unix shell commands and are willing to learn, you will be well rewarded. I’ve read the first page of reviews: you don’t _have_ to be a geek to use this app, but it helps. So finally, I tried it yet again, saw the warning, and got it running fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize I needed a different version for Lion so setting it up wasn’t working (the site wasn’t incredibly clear about that months back: It is the standalone app you need for Lion BTW. I found the need for something like this again, and tried it again.

I tried this app a few years back and found it difficult to figure out how to use. Monaco looks *terrible* antialiased at those sizes, and having it antialiased makes things displayed look much, much less geeky :) Indeed, I'd love to see it get the ability to optionally disable antialiasing for *any* font (like in Terminal). They are now antialiased, where they never were before. One gripe: 3.1.1 came out, and it destroyed the look of Monaco at 9pt and 10pt. It would probably work smoother if there was something in the preferences that allowed the user to set a custom $PATH. There should be a box or something in the app's preferences that allow you to change the load order of geeklets, and shows you a list of them by name (not UIDs). So to shuffle their order in the plist, you have to write down which UID goes with which geeklet. If you try to fix this, you can, but you run into the fact that GeekTool keeps track of its geeklets by means of hexadecimal UIDs instead of the names that you already gave your geeklets when you created them. This can ruin a carefully-crafted desktop. For instance, it often reshuffles the order of which geeklets get loaded first. It could use improvement in certain areas. But if you are a Geek, it couldn't really much get easier to use. And most other things don't make a lot of sense then.
If you don't know what a shell script is, or how to write one, or are totally unfamiliar with things that live in /usr/bin, you won't be able to do much besides put images on your desktop. It's called GeekTool for a reason you have to already have some geekery ability to make it do much of interest. (* This script displays returns all of your Skype contacts who are online, displays their moodtext (if they have one) and drops the echo123 test contact from the list.Fantastic app. The "widget" for iTunes is simply a Bowtie skin. They may have a demo for you to use, but I can't recall. You can make a menu for just about anything. The left menu that you see open (for the screenshot only) are the currently open apps "Processes". I called the tab "Drives" in the upper right corner, but you can name them anything. Since my last posting I put my drives in a drop-down also to clean up my desktop even more. It's really easy to use and they have great support. I've tried others, but I like the customizing features the best.
Remember to set your refresh times appropriately.įor fonts I just used Helvetica Neue Light, Medium or Regular. Īs far as the Time, Month, Date, and AM/PM separately use the following in the Geektool Shell Command field.

She also has the links to download the scripts under the video controls, it'll include directions for the weather.
Without getting you completely frustrated with any directions I could possibly put together for the weather including the image, it may be easier for you to watch the following Youtube video.
