Play Ur Love

Just wondering how to make a textured background for my dock in geektool? Resize an image and make an image geeklet?

Also, what bowtie theme? Thanks! :D

^^^^ Yeah, you create a textured image in photoshop then create a image geeklet in geektool and point it to the created image, move it to the bottom of the screen and you are set. Bowtie theme is rolli.

So where do i go to find those weather and clock widget looking things?

Is it a widget or a wallpaper?

You mean the ones in my screenshot? If so, its all done with geektool, you can find the clock and instructions here, the weather icon is here, for the weather text you create a new shell geeklet and use code bellow:
Code:
curl http://gtwthr.com/YOUR-CITY-ID/custom/@cond@comm@sp@temp_c
echo "°"
then go to gtwthr.com to get your city id, also if you want it to display temps in Fahrenheit just replace the "@temp_c" at the end of the code with just "@temp"

In-between asking you and getting the answer I tried that and it worked!

Thanks for the bowtie theme tho! :D

I changed it, again. Go figure. I give most of the credit to rockinthejoint for showing me the icons and bowtie theme. :D

Anyways, here she blows.
