I have a feeling that's going to be very hard to do with Geektool, it might be possible with Geektool 3 which I think can call other Geeklets into existence but I run Nerdtool and don't have the ability to try it currently.
I'm assuming you want to be able to click the picture and go to the corresponding flickr page?
Do you have a link to that Windows program? I'd like to see what it's all about.
I think this would have to be a standalone application which I don't have time to learn the API for OS-X or code something up.
I can go either way with the clicking, mainly I want to stream images I have saved, and have them in a box that wont resize.
Here is the Lifehacker article about how to make this desktop on the PC: http://lifehacker.com/5820200/the-rush-hour-desktop
and yes it is a stand alone app. Im actually using Yahoo widgets to run photo galleries, but Yahoo widgets is just plain awful!
can i get an script for battery life? please this thread is too big for me
( macbook pro i5 13´2011 version)
This following code is what I wrote to display all battery info. There are 4 lines. Power Source, Battery Level, Battery Status, and Battery Time. So you can pick and choose what you need.
Code:
pmset -g ps | grep Power | awk '{print " Power Source:"$4}' | sed "s/'/ /"
ioreg -l | grep -i capacity | tr '\n' ' | ' | awk '{printf(" Battery Level: ""%.2f%%\n", $10/$5 * 100)}'
pmset -g ps | grep charg | awk '{print " Battery Status: "$3}' | sed "s/;/ /" | sed "s/charging/Charging/" | sed "s/disCharging/Depleting/" | sed "s/charged/Charged/" | sed "s/finishing/Finishing/"
pmset -g ps | grep charg | sed "s/finishing\ charge/fc/" | awk '{print " Battery Time "$4"m"}' | sed "s/:/h /" | sed "s/Time/Time:/" | sed "s/(noh/n\/a/" | sed "s/(nom/n\/a/" | sed "s/charge;m/n\/a/"
Close, but not an exact match:

That looks to be the wallpaper for the HTC Desire. This is the biggest version I could find and is 960x800

okay so i've been fiddling with geektool for a while. and I have next to no programming knowledge.
While this works for stocks:
I can't adjust it for mutual funds or the like, because I have no idea what i'm doing, And this doesn't work:
While this works for stocks:
Code:
curl http://www.google.ca/finance?q=INDEXDJX:.DJI | sed -n '/price-panel style/,/ Close/p' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba'| sed '/^$/d' | sed -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' | head -1 | sed 's/^/DOW: /g' | sed -n '/-/p'I can't adjust it for mutual funds or the like, because I have no idea what i'm doing, And this doesn't work:

The segment with "price-panel style" is the part that indicates where in the webpage source to start looking at, and needed to be changed to "market-data-div" since the webpage source is laid out differently when displaying mutual funds.
So this final code should work...
Code:
curl http://www.google.com/finance?q=MUTF:GGSCX | sed -n '/market-data-div/,/ Close/p' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba'| sed '/^$/d' | sed -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' | head -1 | sed 's/^/GGSCX: /g'EDIT:
I just realized the above code gives you the mutual fund's last update time at the end, if you don't want the date included, this following code strips the date as well...
Code:
curl http://www.google.com/finance?q=MUTF:GGSCX | sed -n '/market-data-div/,/ Close/p' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba'| sed '/^$/d' | sed -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' | head -1 | cut -f 1-3 -d " " | sed 's/^/GGSCX: /g'

So i'm probably getting a little annoying, but how would I separate this script:
which currently displays conditions and temperature (Partly Cloudy, 85F)
into two different ones? Like one for conditions, and one for temperature.
Or even a way to make it so it displays everything before the comma in one and then displays everything after the comma in the other.
Code:
curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USPA0730&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//'into two different ones? Like one for conditions, and one for temperature.

This code should do it, just make sure to copy it into geektool just as it is, the /g' on the second line needs to be on its own line like that...
Code:
curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USPA0730&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//' | sed 's/, /\
/g'Ah ok, well that's easily enough done.
For condition...
Code:
curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USPA0730&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//' | cut -f 1 -d ","For temperature...
Code:
curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USPA0730&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//' | cut -f 2 -d ","I found myself wondering if there is a terminal command I can run as a geeklet to display the most recently opened files, like a list with 10~items in a text column :
Legendas.tv.txt
Quests.txt
drag.png
dock.png
DESKTOP(Folder)
~
It may sound paranoid, but actually I just have a few minor attention disorder issues and usually forget what I was doing 5 minutes ago that led me to where I am now

This will answer all your questions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_(Unix)
You can't just get a 7, you'll get a 07 with the command. Stripping the leading zero would require more scripting.
I looked into how the system calls recent items, and I could only find this one way. The odd thing is when you open a file, it instantly shows up in the Recent Item list under the menu bar, but through terminal, there is a 30 second delay before the recent item seems to be written to this .plist file. So it will take 30 seconds before it is displayed using this code. But this should work for you unless someone else has a more efficient way to display the recent items.
Code:
defaults read com.apple.recentitems RecentDocuments | grep Name | cut -f 2 -d "=" | sed 's/\(.*\)../\1/' | sed 's/..\(.*\)/\1/'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure exactly how you are displaying the date as I've not seen your code, but this is how you would show the month numerically in terminal.
Code:
date "+%m"I'm working on a python solution to this, need some more time. Wanted to let you know that someone is working on it and not leaving you hanging.
Thank you for that cheat sheet :^)
Thank you, that's what i was looking for
