GeekTool

tilleyrw had trouble on 12 Sep 2011

I am following the GeekTool guide at LifeHacker. My background color (desktop) is blue. The text GeekTool defaults to black. Nothing is visible.

I check all colors in preferences and yet nothing is visible. I don't know if this curious piece of software is working or not.

EDIT: After dragging a shell script geeklet to the desktop and entering "date + %d", no text appears. Playing with the text and background colors does nothing.

For all intents and purposes, this program does nothing.

I solved the problem. The syntax was wrong. Changing it to a simple "df" command displayed information. That is enough of a start to learn this potentially incredible program.

Glowing reports abound for this software. It doesn't work for me.

After downloading from the App Store, it is an application not a prefPane for the System Preferences. I must open it from my applications folder. The rest goes downhill as scripts from the web don't work for me.

Something ain't right and I think it's me.

I just read in the guide at LifeHacker that app stores downloads will be an application not prefpane.
