I had heard of NerdTool, so I gave it a look. So, when I had a free afternoon, I did some research. The main ones (involving my calendar, to do lists and other information located on my computer) still worked but any that relied on RSS feeds or external information worked sometimes and mostly just didn’t work. However, over the last couple of month, I noticed that a few of my geeklets had stopped working. That was fine.Īfter that, I had to acquiesce to having them live where they wanted to live and I went about my way. I tried and tried to get my geek lets to live where i wanted them to live but ultimately, I found that I had to move them manually every morning. And, as luck would have it, my desk arrangement was so that I actually used my secondary monitor as my main screen. They want to live only on the primary monitor. Geeklets don’t like to live on a second monitor. When I moved to two monitors, I did learn something.
#GEEKTOOL DESKTOP INSTALL#
I had to install Perl and iCalBuddy to get some of them to work so I was always learning something new during that time. I explored the (now aging) repository of geeklets from time to time and through trial and error, found a desktop array that did what I needed. GeekTool allowed me to explore a bit of coding and customize my desktop with geeklets that provided me both useful information and needed distraction during my workday. GeekTool provides a means to add images, code, logs or web content to small, pre-defined locations on your desktop so they lay behind your application windows and can refresh at a time rate that you set within the code. I have been a casual user and fan of GeekTool for a number of years.
