Think different

My first setup of a Geeklet screen.

I'm sorry to say it's mostly in Dutch but for those who want to it's fairly easy to translate it yourself.

The background is based on Apple's "Think Different" campaign back in 1997. One of my favorites and I tend to act like the slogan says.

In the upper-left corner you see the date. The most simple geeklet you can imagine.

Below the date you can see weather details. To get these, I put them together as a collection. Please take care: for the weather text and temperature you have to subscribe at Weather Underground to get free access to their api. The icon comes from Accuweather. The file you download is a zip-file.

Below the weatherdetails there's a Dutch fuzzy wordclock. After fiddling around with several versions from different sources I made this one myself. Everything is written in Dutch but it's fairly simple to translate it. This file is a zip-file.

The calender on the right is fairly simple, nothing really to it.

In the lower-right corner you'll find network (wifi) details like SSID you are logged into and IP-adres of that connection. Not really difficult but sometimes comes in handy.

Below the networkdetails you'll see a batterymeter. The script itself was fairly simple to write, it took more time to make the gauge like this. Take care: the file you download is a zip-file!

Be free to download these and try them yourself!

Comprehensive system monitor - Yosemite

This monitor shows your CPU, Memory, Hard Drive, and network usage. Also shows your internal IP Address, internal temperature, the fan speed, and the total uptime of your machine.

Secondly, is a built in to do list. I simply have an alias that edits a text file on my dropbox with vim to modify this.

Thirdly, it shows the top 10 processes on your machine sorted by CPU usage. Along with their processor ID and memory usage as well.

#!/bin/bash

echo && echo ———————-System Information:——————— && echo

Find time since last boot.

then=$(sysctl kern.boottime | awk '{print $5}' | sed "s/,//") now=$(date +%s) diff=$(($now-$then))

Convert time to human readable stuff.

days=$(($diff/86400)); diff=$(($diff-($days86400))) hours=$(($diff/3600)) diff=$(($diff-($hours3600))) minutes=$(($diff/60))

Find current bandwith in each pipe

myvar1=netstat -bI en0 | awk "/en0/"'{print $7;exit}' myvar3=netstat -bI en0 | awk "/en0/"'{print $10;exit}'

sleep 1

Find current bandwith in each pipe after a second.

myvar2=netstat -bI en0 | awk "/en0/"'{print $7;exit}' myvar4=netstat -bI en0 | awk "/en0/"'{print $10;exit}'

Find the difference between each pipe after 1 second.

subin=$(($myvar2 - $myvar1)) subout=$(($myvar4 - $myvar3))

Convert the bytes to kilobytes

kbin=echo "scale=2; $subin/1024;" | bc kbout=echo "scale=2; $subout/1024;" | bc

Current CPU usage

echo CPU: top -l 1 | awk '/CPU usage/ {print $3}' | sed s/%//%

Current Memory Usage

Circular System Desktop Disk Ram Cpu Battery Nettraffic

Description

This has taken me a few weeks time. I wanted to get all the relevant system and weather information while using elegant circular indicators. It involved creating my own arc font, understanding unix commands, writing shell scripts, apple scripts and fooling around with Gimp and Inkscape. The whole setup runs from a ramdisk (instructions are provided) to avoid problems with paths and excessive read and write access to your hdd or sad. You can consult the attached Readme.txt for more information.

Download

You can download all the 32 geeklets, scripts and instructions from [here] https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1790995/Geektool.zip).

Install

Extract Geektool.zip and follow the instructions in the readme file.

Here is my attempt to create current location weather for GeekTool.

I edited code from this website and give credit to the person who created it. Thank you!

I will add Weather Image soon. I will try to add a 5 day forecast geeklet file too later.

System monitor created on Yosemite, based on this previous submission: http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/geeklets/system/comprehensive-system-monitor-yosemite/

The CPU and fan information come from the iStats utility, more information on that can be found here: https://github.com/Chris911/iStats

iStats was not installed on my system beforehand, so I had to open the terminal and do gem install istats before GeekTool could pull those numbers.

Go to Accuweather.com and enter your city name. Copy the link from the address bar, once you found your city of course, and replace (Paste) to replace this line on the Geeklet script; http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/YOUR CITY/PLZ/weather-forecast/CITY IDENT NUMBER

Then find your location code for the same city; Do a google search for:

german weather location code

Copy that location code to this line of the Geeklet script:

LOCATION CODE|CITY NAME

Change the saved image location to somewhere you would like, Documents, downloads or picture folder, then create a image from geektool using where weather.png is now stored. /Users/You/and Your path here/weather.png

I also added a refresh line for the image, just use the session property ID number from your image and replace mine. This will have the image refresh as often as the Weather geeklet. Currently set to 30 minutes intervals (1800 seconds)

EnJoy :D

Minimalistic features. Using nocturnal menu bar. Removed maximum menu bar items to remove redundancy. You might want to shift the geek lets to LHS if you are planning to have icons on the screen. Also the font is chalkdust. For day date time use date '+%A %B %D %Y %H %m' etc. as per your needs.

I worked out a way to have a hover action on geeklets. I have not seen this done before but it utilises MouseTools

I am checking for the mouse to be in a certain position then using that to run an action. I made up a quick example that moves a bar out to show the time. The design in action can be seen here: http://gph.is/2aSIpHY

There are a few bugs that I want to get rid of soon but I will be releasing the actual script in a few days.

I just want your opinion on the functionality

Momentum inspired theme with Birthday reminder

I was inspired to make something that had a similar feel to the Momentum extension for Chrome/Safari for my desktop so came across Geektool to make it happen.

During my research I discovered the iCalBuddy and thought I'd try and make an 'upcoming birthdays' reminder (as I'm always forgetting).

I bashed this out in an evening and am really happy with it. I may add some other stuff in future but as the Birthday calendar was something I was searching the net for, but couldn't find, I thought I'd post it here (birthday ical.glet).

The Original Momentum Inspired Desktop (with Updates)

([Originally]http://lifehacker.com/the-momentum-inspired-desktop-1784139077) featured by Lifehacker in July 2017)

I love Rainmeter and having moved to OS X full-time (at home) a several months ago, I find I really miss it. In the meantime, I discovered Momentum, a “new tab” Chrome-extension that I quite like. Eventually these two things inspired this Geektool desktop.

For the first screenshot: Wallpaper from (Interfacelift)[https://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details/4045/h%C3%B6llental.html] Left - “Three Things” reads from a text file (shell geeklet: cat /path/to/filename.txt) Left - “Now Playing” is Bowtie with the Karma theme (works fairly well with Spotify + last.fm) Center - Time (simple Date command: date +”%l:%M”) Center - Greeting using a simple shell script found via Google Center - Date (simple Date command: date “+%A, %B %e”) Center - Today reads from a text file (or you could just as easily use “echo” twice in a shell geeklet) Center - Parsed RSS feed (dropbox.com) from [QuotesDaddy.com] (https://www.quotesdaddy.com/) Right - [Weather geeklet] 9https://leadingspace.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/geektool-weather-information-from-yahoo-for-2016/) by RikerJoe (thanks for this!)

Updated (second screenshot): Wallpaper from macOS wallpapers Replaced Bowtie App with Simplify Replaced weather geeklet with HTML geeklet and darksky.net embed code This is pretty slick because it's responsive; you can resize it just to show the current conditions and not the forecast.
