Just got into geek shenanigans, and for the post up there ^, you can rotate scripts, but I'm not sure how. It has something to do with imagemagik, and some other programs and such. If you have no idea how/what thefuck is going on, then if you search it on YouTube, there's a three part video tutorial that helped me a lot. Anyway, besides date&time, calendar, and weather. What else could you put?

Sorry for a double reply (I guess?) but I figured out what I was doing wrong. If you want to use these just pm me and I'll explain how to change them to your city.

Na I got it. Sad thing is, I restarted my computer and they all went bye bye. I am not sure I will spend the time to do it again.

I am a big windows person, and my dad just got an imac 23" and it's kinda cool. Still think it's about $300 too expensive for the specs, but I guess your paying for the name and cool look. Oh, and the "magic trackpad" is suprisingly nice.

The same thing happened to me! I made my desktop look awkward and I restarted and just had Time/Date/Month, Calendar, lyrics generated and weather left.

Look at the two videos I posted !! It's surprisingly easy once you realize that you're not actually coding things.. It's just copy & paste! Check it out on YouTube, if you have any questions, further, then pm me.!

I was messing around with this a lot and getting pissed off until I looked at his website, it says that he is working on a lion compatible geektool. So if you have Lion thats why its not working for ya

That geek tool is to hard for me to figure out with all the weather and stuff, if I want to see my weather I just go to the Dashboard in my dock. I'll just stick with OS X Lion that I have now.

I've had this for a while now, looking to get a new pic. Geektool was really easy, once I knew what I wanted it took like 15 minutes.

I don't have weather, because Yahoo weather sucks, at least for Sweden.

Also, I have the 2D-dock, but I feel like I want something cooler, like that black text thing someone had. Suggestions?
