Alright, I have a quick question about an E-mail Script. I currently use the script:
This is all well and works fine. My question is if I can get a notification to pop up when I have an unread email, but only displays the word E-MAIL, with NO number count. What I'm trying to do is emulate a popular icon set that I'm using so that the notification flows better with my dock and the icons. I've attached an image of my latest desktop customization. As you can see in the bottom right corner I am using Geektool to display the time and underneath that I have basic text saying CLOCK. I want to basically do the same thing on the opposite side with my unread email. Have it say 1 UNREAD then underneath have it say E-MAIL. The only problem is that I either need to have the E-MAIL sit there permanently like CLOCK as basic text, or have it say 1 UNREAD 1 E-MAIL.
Is there anyway I can get just the word E-MAIL to display once a new email is recieved.
hi i'm new to geektool and i've been tryign to set up an RSS feed on my desktop using reuters (URL="http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/topNews.rss") but my feed keeps showing up with HTML, can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? i used the standard scrpt
#!/bin/sh
URL="http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/topNews.rss"
if [ $# -eq 1 ] ; then
headarg=$(( $1 * 2 ))
else
headarg="-8"
fi
curl --silent "$URL" | grep -E '(title>|description>)' | \
sed -n '4,$p' | \
sed -e 's/<title>//' -e 's/<\/title>//' -e 's/<description>/ /' \
-e 's/<\/description>//' | \
sed -e 's/<!\[CDATA\[//g' |
sed -e 's/\]\]>//g' |
sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' |
head $headarg | sed G | fmt
thanks!

. But I just found Geektool last night, so I think I did okay for one day. Haha. Great software .
Hey, just in case someone would like to see it

P.P.S. Let me know if you want any of the code I used, I can post it up here if someone wants it.
. I rarely ever have my desktop showing, so I figured I might as well fill it up with "quick glance" material for use with expose. Especially the to-do list, saves from having to load that program except to edit it. But to all their own .
