scutzi128,
Just saw your post today, sorry. Thanks for the compliment.
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. She also has the links to download the scripts under the video controls, it'll include directions for the weather. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNFkW1lLxtU
As far as the Time, Month, Date, and AM/PM separately use the following in the Geektool Shell Command field. Remember to set your refresh times appropriately.
Time:
date '+%I:%M'
Month
date +%B
Date
date +%d
AM/PM
date +"%p"
For fonts I just used Helvetica Neue Light, Medium or Regular.
"The launchers" are Dragthing menus. I've tried others, but I like the customizing features the best. It's really easy to use and they have great support. Since my last posting I put my drives in a drop-down also to clean up my desktop even more. I called the tab "Drives" in the upper right corner, but you can name them anything. The left menu that you see open (for the screenshot only) are the currently open apps "Processes". You can make a menu for just about anything. They may have a demo for you to use, but I can't recall. http://www.dragthing.com/index.html
The "widget" for iTunes is simply a Bowtie skin. Quick and easy. http://bowtieapp.com/
Any other Q's please feel free.
Yes, one little letter will mess it all up hah
For the weather & flipclock, go to pg 115, post number 2875. For the clock, for the refresh time, I had to put 3660seconds for the hour & 1second for the minute.
Until I found that post, the weather was the absolute, most difficult script I've dealt with (I'm pretty sure that goes for everyone else as well). I haven't gotten the weather image to work yet. I'm still messing with it. There's actually a youtube video where a girl shows how to put the weather image on there. I'm going to watch it tonight, since I plan on changing my desktop again.
Don't forget, when you do the weather scripts, make sure you put a refresh time.
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/user/CoolEnufForaMac#p/u/12/uNFkW1lLxtU
Goodluck! I'd like to see your desktop when you're done
. Now, I have only seen people use yahoo as the weather service. Is it possible to use weather.com to get the weather? Weather.com is incredibly more accurate that yahoo.
Never mind got it working
