June Desktop

Here's my desktop for June. Not sure that I like this one. Like? Dislike?

 

Geektool (the program used to display all information is from projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/

 

Wallpaper is by destruktive.

 

Geektool Scripts (and source where possible)

To use the scripts, install Geektool (link above) and enter the geektool menu from system preferences. Select 'New Entry' (button on bottom left of screen) and then choose "shell" from the dropdown menu. Then copy and paste the wanted scripts in (the ones I've used are below). NOTE: the description (ie "Day:") should NOT be included as part of the script.

 

Day: date +%A

Date: date +%d

Month: date +%B

Time: date +"%I:%M"

Seconds: date +%S

AM/PM: date +"%p"

Year: date +%Y

 

Uptime (from forums.mactalk.com.au/20/58453-learning-love- geektool-pri... = uptime | awk '{print "" $3 " " $4 " " $5 }' | sed -e 's/.$//g';

 

Temp: curl m.wund.com/global/stations/*****.html |sed -n '21p' | sed -e 's///g' | sed -e 's/<\/b.*//g' NOTE: Temp script shows in degrees celsius but the symbol is not shown. Can be made by using: echo "o" and echo "C"

Conditions : curl m.wund.com/global/stations/*****.html |sed -n '47p' | sed -e 's///g' | sed -e 's/ 5 {print $12, $13}'

For weather/conditions scripts, the '*****' is your zip code which can be found by going to the weather underground home page (google it) and searching your location. These scripts work best for locations other than the US. These scripts require the download and installation of cURL (don't remember link)

 

Ethernet/Airport -

#! /bin/bash

 

myen0=`ifconfig en0 | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'`

 

if [ "$myen0" != "" ]

then

echo "Ethernet: $myen0"

else

echo "Ethernet: INACTIVE"

fi

 

myen1=`ifconfig en1 | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'`

 

if [ "myen1" != "" ]

then

echo "AirPort: $myen1"

else

echo "Airport: INACTIVE"

fi

(cant remember source - not mine :)

 

The following were made using the "echo" command - "2009", ":", "o", "C", "Sys:", "Uptime I", "RAM I", "CPU I", "Trash I"

 

Forecast for today and tomorrow is made using Thomas Upton's yahoo weather script (and modifying it) link www.thomasupton.com/blog/?p=202

 

Horizontal calender is made using a text file and then linking to it in geektool

 

To Do List is a text file that is linked to in geektool and is appended using quicksilver.

 

Fonts are a mixture of Helvetica Neue UltraLight (Time, AM, secs, Sys, Day, Month, year) and Helvetica Neue Light (Vertical calender, system stats, To Do list, and date (ie 13)

 

Icons are a mix of Smoothicons (Blue folders) and Black System Icons
