What are /r/GeekTool's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

They aren't using GeekTool for iTunes, it's Bowtie. You can get it in the App Store; it's free. The theme they are using is called Neon, I currently see it on page 8 of the theme browser in the Bowtie prefs.

As for the menubar, see if some of the info here helps.

It started checking to see that you a real browser and not a bot or webscraper. The work around is to specify the header in the curl parameters:

curl --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" --silent "https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/rio-rancho-nm/87124/current-weather/339601" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel.push/{print "Feels like "$12"°F" }'| sed 's/"});//' | head -1

You can't change that icon (or any live update icon like Calendar) via just the normal copy/paste method as when you click on the app, the icon changes to using an internal icon set which is stored within the app itself. There are a few .icns files that need to be changed. (You can find these files by right clicking the Calendar app, clicking "Show Package Contents" and then navigating the contents of the app.

According to this post here, you need to replace possibly 3 files...

Calendar.app->Contents->Resources->App.icns

Calendar.app->Contents->Resources->App-empty.icns

Calendar.app->Contents->Resources->iCalDockTilePlugIn.docktileplugin->Contents->Resources->App-empty.icns

You'll also need to change the icon via the copy/paste method as well so when the app is not running, it displays the icon you want as well.

I've had to do this for a number of apps which have icons which get updated in real time, such as torrent clients (Transmission).

I use the app img2icns for converting my image files to .icns files. (the free version will convert fine, no need for the paid version)

I was bored at work, so I remote desktop'd into my computer and got the file. Here's the link. Just click File > Download to get the while folder. Good luck!

Okay, here's how to set it up:

1. open the iTunesPlaying.scpt file
2. in the second line, change the path to the path of the parent folder to the iTunes folder you extracted from my .zip file.
3. Add iTunesData.glet, iTunesImage.glet, and iTunesPush.glet to Geektool by double clicking on them.
4. Change the path in the iTunesImage Geeklet from .../iTunes/itunes.png to .../iTunes/temp.png
5. set all the refresh intervals to 1 second (or something else if you prefer, I just found 1 second works best)

And that should be it!

Here's the link, just click on File --> Download at the top of the page.

I got the image from Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/zAjdgNXsMeg

I cut out the mountains using Gimp and inserted it.

I used: date +"%I:%M" for the time and date +"%p" for the am/pm.

​

This took me a while to figure out because it was kinda difficult to figure out how to even write the time (I realize now it's literally just shell :P).

​

Anyways, enjoy!

curl --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X)" --silent "https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/rio-rancho-nm/87124/current-weather/339601" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel.push/{print "Feels like "$12"°F" }'| sed 's/"});//' | head -1

Their site seems to have been updated to use only https and since you are trying to load an http page it is redirecting to https and causing a blank page to be downloaded by curl.

You can either simply change the URL to go directly to the https site such as...

curl --silent "https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/rio-rancho-nm/87124/current-weather/339601" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel.push/{print "Feels like "$12"°F" }'| sed 's/"});//' | head -1

or you can alternatively have curl traverse to the forwarded URL by using the "-L" option of curl such as...

curl --silent -L "http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/rio-rancho-nm/87124/current-weather/339601" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel.push/{print "Feels like "$12"°F" }'| sed 's/"});//' | head -1

I included both solutions, but honestly the first solution would be preferable so that you aren't loading two pages each time you run the script.

It's odd that they aren't changing for you. I never use Launchpad, but I just went and checked and all of my application icons that have been manually changed by me are properly changed on Launchpad as well.

You could try deleting the database for Launchpad and letting it regenerate a new clean database. That may solve your issue.

For the case you speak of, I would recommend an entirely different piece of software, Hammerspoon. Minimal Lua knowledge should get you by just fine, and you can likely even just cobble something together from different parts of their Getting Started Guide. The main reason I suggest this is that it can make use of native macOS notifications, which in my opinion would be better in your situation.

Yes I have the link for you! I should be back home within the hour and then I will edit this comment with the link (to give credit to the person who made it).

Edit: Wallpaper link.

For the chrome icon does this look like what you're looking for?

Also if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the background image?

found a ruby CLI one-liner here and I tweaked the output a bit....if you've got ruby it should work but you'll have to change my hard coded value from 2014-02-16 to match your daughters b'day and add it into geektool. ctrl-c/ctrl-v the code below into a terminal to test on your system

days_since=ruby -r date -e 'd = Date.parse(ARGV.shift); p (Date.today - d).to_i' 2014-02-16;echo $days_since "days since Feb 16, 2014" 365 days since Feb 16, 2014

the sidebar calendar is actually an app called DateLine. Unfortunately the newest update for it removed desktop integration, so I would avoid it until a fix is issued. I'm staying away from the update, but if you DL it from the Mac App Store, you'll get the newer, shittier version.

The script for showing the current iCal events is one that I tweaked. Here you go

So Sorry , I have find my self, the right code is:

curl --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X)" --silent "https://www.accuweather.com/en/fr/aix-en-provence/136417/weather-forecast/136417" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel\.push/{print substr($13,10,25)", "$10"°" }'| sed 's/"});//' | head -1

Thank again

Yes indeed, your answer show me my mistake.

With the code below I could have weather conditions; but not anymore.
Do you know what has changed, where is the error?
thank you for your help

curl --silent "https://www.accuweather.com/fr/fr/aix-en-provence/136417/weather-forecast/136417" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel\.push/{print substr($13,10,25)", "$10"°" }'| sed 's/"});//' | head -1

Your code does not point to a weather image.

curl --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X)" "https://www.accuweather.com/en/fr/aix-en-provence/136417/current-weather/136417" | grep "\-xl\"" | sed -e "s/\"\>\<\/div\>//g" | sed -e "s/\<div class=\"icon i\-\([0-9]\{1\}\)\-xl/\<div class=\"icon i\-0\1\-xl/g" | sed -e "s/\<div class=\"icon i\-/http\:\/\/vortex.accuweather.com\/adc2010\/images\/icons\-numbered\//g" | sed -e "s/xl/xl.png/g" | tr -d '\r' | xargs curl -o /tmp/weather.png

Juste in case your last code for images or icons is :

curl -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" "https://www.accuweather.com/en/fr/aix-en-provence/136417/current-weather/136417" | grep "\-xl\"" | sed -e "s/\"\>\<\/div\>//g" | sed -e "s/\<div class=\"icon i\-\([0-9]\{1\}\)\-xl/\<div class=\"icon i\-0\1\-xl/g" | sed -e "s/\<div class=\"icon i\-/http\:\/\/vortex.accuweather.com\/adc2010\/images\/icons\-numbered\//g" | sed -e "s/xl/xl.png/g" | tr -d '\r' | xargs curl -o /tmp/weather.png

curl -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" "https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/rio-rancho-nm/87124/current-weather/339601" | grep "-xl\"" | sed -e "s/\"><\/div>//g" | sed -e "s/<div class=\"icon i-([0-9]{1})-xl/<div class=\"icon i-0\1-xl/g" | sed -e "s/<div class=\"icon i-/http:\/\/vortex.accuweather.com\/adc2010\/images\/icons-numbered\//g" | sed -e "s/xl/xl.png/g" | tr -d '\r' | xargs curl -o /tmp/weather.png

Mirage is an app that lets you make the dock transparent so only icons show, so I made it transparent and then just made a one pixel high line in PS for an image geeklet right above the dock icons

In order to change icons, you should download LiteIcon. Some people use Candybar instead, but I prefer LiteIcon's interface.

Anyways, just search for "Flurry icons" on deviantart, find the ones that suit you, change them via LiteIcon, and behold your new snazzy desktop.

I apologize if that's not clear enough, but I'm feeling a bit lazy right now. Just ask me what ever questions you have, I'd be glad to answer them.

See above. I used Corollary combined with Candybar to customize the icons. Glad you think they're gorgeous. Also, I used Mirage to completely hide the dock.

or you can do it like this

myUsedMem=top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print $2}' | sed s/M// myFreeMem=top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print $6}' | sed s/M// myTotalMem=expr $myUsedMem + $myFreeMem

myUsedPer=echo $myUsedMem $myTotalMem | awk '{print int($1/$2*100)}'

declare -i a=5 while [ $a -lt $myUsedPer ] do echo "|\c" a=expr $a + 5 done echo "\033[1;31m|\033[0m\c" while [ $a -lt 100 ] do echo "\033[1;30m|\033[0m\c" a=expr $a + 5 done echo "\n" unset myUsedMem unset myFreeMem unset myTotalMem unset myUsedPer unset a

This script will more accurately represent Activity Monitor. These two scripts are showing two different things. The first is showing your wired memory usage (memory that cannot be swapped). The second showing total usage (active + inactive + wired - the difference being that non-wired can be swapped onto the hard drive and therefore is still in a way usable).

Nooooooo, PIL does not want to install on Lion.

llvm-gcc-4.2: error trying to exec '/usr/bin/../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2': execvp: No such file or directory cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double" lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//ccupJhNd.out error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 255

Nice script and setup though.

As an aside: You can use PasteBin or CodePad for code pastes and then link them inline. You can even have them mark up your scripts :)
