It might be easier to use the 'date' command itself, there are many formats to display the date and/or time any way you want.

Thanks!

Cool desktop. Can you share the script to iCal and Events?

 

[Scrbzzz]

can someone tell me give me the script to the forecast he has?

I cannot seem to find a CPU usage script that works either, any help? I like the one he has on here up in the right corner.
im still pretty new to this so no hate ppl . thanks

The code for that cpu is

top -l 2 | awk '/CPU usage/ && NR > 5 {print "CPU Usage: ", "User = "$3",", "Sys = "$5",", "Idle = "$7}'

And the weather thing isn't geektool its yahoo widgets. http://widgets.yahoo.com/widgets/widescapeweather

Also can anybody test this code and tell me if they can get it to work because I really really want this one

top -ocpu -FR -l2 -n5 | grep '^....[1234567890] ' | grep -v ' 0.0% ..:' | cut -c 7-24,64-69

(Necessary install iCalbuddy )
The iCalendar:

cal_head=`cal | head -1`; cal_tail=`cal | tail -7`; today=`date "+%e"`; echo "$cal_head"; echo "${cal_tail/${today}/\033[1;32m${today}\033[0m}";

The events:

/usr/local/bin/icalBuddy -nc -nrd -sd eventsToday+4 | sed -e "s/*/•/" | sed -e "s/!/!!/"

Todo:

/usr/local/bin/icalBuddy -nc uncompletedTasks | sed -e "s/*/•/" | sed -e "s/!/!!/"

and the background:

the events & todo font type: STheiti
and here is the .psd(Photoshop format) for change background

Thanks, look nice...
But the events script does not work right for me because I have ordered web calendars and they appear like EVENT.HERE url http:www.plaahplaah.com

Any ideas how to remote that web address?

EDIT: And can I some how edit the number of days shown? Now it shows 5 days and the list is quite big

My background keeps changing, but I think I am done (for now) with adding more scripts.

I kept adding and removing RSS feeds, CPU info, Net traffic, but I was not really needing those too much.

Do you have idea is it possible to set it up showing just one calendar not all of them?

Do that mail script work without Mail app open?

The script will cause the mail app to open but in a minimized state.

When you open up the Preferences pane, you'll see File, Image, and Shell. For a calendar, for example, click on the "Shell" icon and drag it to your desktop. You'll see a window pop up there. Find one of the commands from this thread and paste it in the command area. Change the font to how you wish, although for a calendar you'll want a fixed width font. Set the refresh rate to once per day (86,400 seconds in a day) since you don't need to refresh it more than that.

Give that little geeklet a name, like Calendar or whatever. Then you're done with that one. Repeat for other scripts.

all I can seem to find for mail is googlemail..I use hotmail is there a way to get hotmail to show up on my front page using geektool

 

[Wowzera]

Could someone help me to do something like this?

I can't get the time to display like that

date +%H%M

 

[Wowzera]

date +%H%M

time I meant the word "time"

 

[RogersDA]

time I meant the word "time"

Create the shell with the following command:

echo TIME

Format it (size, color, font) as you want.

Set the refresh rate very, very high, too.

So, is it two windows? I'm trying to put them all in one single shell window, but I am not having success. I already tried with echo, but it does not look to work properly.

that was my code

echo time; date +%H%M

Based on the image you posted that person probably used two shell windows: one for the echo and one for the date. Fonts are the same, but the sizes are different. The echo shell was also moved to its current location, too, I'm sure.
Here is my quick take:
