Oh my goodness! I've been so involved in work that I even forgot to change my wallpaper. Better late than never I suppose.

Here you go, in all their glory. The weather section at the bottom has all the codes for Mount Shasta, CA. You can change those codes by using the resource URL's I've listed along with the tubes of the Googles and other GeekTool resources. The only one I had difficulty with was the Calendar. You have to use fixed width fonts for the spacing to have proper alignment / appearance.

Shell DAY = date +"%A"
font = Helvetica Neue UltraLight 64

Shell MONTH = date "+%B"
font = Helvetica Neue UltraLight 72

Shell DATE = date +”%d” . . . . . . or . . . . . date '+%e' . . . . in order to lose the zero and get single digit dates
font = Helvetica Neue UltraLight 72

Shell DATE = date '+%Y' - 2012 (year with four digits)
font = Helvetica Neue UltraLight 72

Shell TIME = date "+%l:%M:%S"
font = Helvetica Neue UltraLight 124

Shell AM OR PM = date +"%p"
font = Helvetica Neue UltraLight 84

Shell CALENDAR = cal_head=`cal | head -1`; cal_tail=`cal | tail -7`; today=`date "+%e"`; echo "$cal_head"; echo "${cal_tail/${today}/\033[1;36m${today}\033[0m}"
font = Letter Gothic Std Medium 25 <— Fixed Width font required for proper spacing

To HIGHLIGHT the current day, use this script —> cal_head=`cal | head -1`; cal_tail=`cal | tail -7`; today=`date "+%e"`; echo "$cal_head"; echo "${cal_tail/${today}/\033[1;36m${today}\033[0m}"
. . . . . where “36” in [1;36m${today} determines the color.

That 36 is what’s telling GeekTool to give you a Cyan highlight color, and that’s the number you’re going to have to change. You don’t have a lot of options for your highlight color, but here they are:
  • Black, 30
  • Red, 31
  • Green, 32
  • Yellow, 33
  • Blue, 34
  • Pink, 35
  • Cyan, 36
  • White, 37
