Geektool Your Geektool scripts

[donnyboy09]

how can i put up a second clock with a different timezone?

The script for this is

TZ=TIME-ZONE-NAME/UTC-#:## date +"LOCATION: %I:%M %p %a"

where TIME_ZONE_NAME is, unsurprisingly, the name of the timezone (can be found by searching for the location here and #:## is the time difference to UTC(GMT) ie GMT+5:00 Note: for some reason timezones that are GMT+X still need to be entered as UTC - X (not sure if this holds true to timezones that are GMT - X.

Some examples would be:
TZ=IST/UTC-5:30 date +"Chennai: %I:%M %p %a"
TZ=AEST/UTC-10 date + "Sydney: %I:%M %p %a"

Ok. I've incorporated some of the iTunes scripts that give a Artist Only display, Track and Album display and the Next 5 Songs display. Also added a picture of my NFL Team as training camp is opening. This is in addition to the traditional date and current conditions and horizontal calendar.

Very nice. Could you share the iTunes scripts with us?

The dates on the calendar don't line up with the correct days?

Is there a way to align things in geektool, for example if I wanted an item positioned exactly under another item, could I do it?

You can match up the location coordinates in the bottom right of the geektool panel.

Hey guys, inspired by a picture off lifehacker, I decided to totally redo my geektool layout. Thought I'd share. I'm including the before and after. If you get a chance let me know if you think it's an improvement or not.

Also, feel free to ask for any of the scripts. In case anyone's interested, I figured out a way to make stock quotes appear in red if they gone down and green if they've gone up - but didn't include it in this screenshot.

zzzz... Would you send me the HD: script? I have one now but I don't like the fact that it's in ##Gi format.

Thanks.

Here is mine

Thanks.

Here's how I've done mine:
df -g | awk '/\/dev\/disk0/ {print " SSD - "$3".0G "" ""("$5")" }';

Well look at that. Hmmm. Looks like only certain fonts make it line up right. I had to switch to Courier New for now.

The right side one looks much more professional - less geeky

Could you share the script please ?

Thanks but I meant the one showing the remaining space in your HD.

try this, (from here):

df -h | grep disk0s2 | awk ‘{print “System:”, $3, “of”, $2, “-”, $4, “available”}’ | sed ’s/Gi/Gb/g’;

i could never get it to work though

How did you get the weather icons?

Thanks but I meant the one showing the remaining space in your HD.

this will do space remaining:
df -g | awk '/\/dev\/disk0/ {print "HD - "$2-$3"G of "$2"G remaining ""("$5")" }';
yields: HD - 47G of 112G remaining (59%)

or:
df -g | awk '/\/dev\/disk0/ {print "HD - "$2-$3"G left"}';
yields: HD - 47G left

or:
df -g | awk '/\/dev\/disk0/ {print "HD - "100-$5"% left" }';
yields: HD - 41% left

Are any of those what you were looking for?

yeah, i agree. didn't realize how geeky the other one looked until iput them up side by side.

which scripts do you want?

 

[bowzer]

try this, (from here):

df -h | grep disk0s2 | awk ‘{print “System:”, $3, “of”, $2, “-”, $4, “available”}’ | sed ’s/Gi/Gb/g’;

i could never get it to work though

Thats because it was using improper " and ' ... this should work:

df -h | grep disk0s2 | awk '{print "HD: ", $3, "of", $2, "-", $4, "available"}' | sed 's/Gi/Gb/g'

Here's my updated desktop... ask me for any of the script codes. Most are pretty standard, but the uptime is one i made. I always have my main monitor with windows on it, so i keep my 2nd display for my all scripts.

It's been raining forever in my city... so hence the mood of the desktop!! haha

 

[DoFoT9]

Thats because it was using improper " and ' ... this should work:

df -h | grep disk0s2 | awk '{print "HD: ", $3, "of", $2, "-", $4, "available"}' | sed 's/Gi/Gb/g'

YES! that worked thanks so much!

Thanks to all your tips and instructions I designed my desktop to be EXACTLY the way I want it.

Yahoo widget, I gave up on trying to use Geektool to get the weather

Love this and all, but it sucks my MBP battery down 3hrs
and raises the temp 70 Degrees F up. :/
