should be right on the side "download file"... it's a zip that includes all the necessary scripts and instructions, but you'll need to download and install geektool as well (free, you'll have to google it), I haven't updated this in forever, but it should still be fine! best of luck!

At the time I used a program called 'docker', not sure if it's still available but it gave you options for customizing 2d dock... I just used that to do a simple translucent black dock with no separators and triangle indicators (all options within the program)

The dock icons are la-text2: [link]

the adium was a customization of: [link]
basically increased text size and transparent background.

Hope that helps!!

hmm, it shouldn't do that, check the refresh rate of the weather script, it should be in properties, make sure its not 0, maybe like 300 or 600 or something, it should keep it self updating and on then...

Try this code instead, and make sure it's a Yahoo weather code... (replace the CAXX0417) and change the &u=c to f for farenheit... hope that helps!

curl --silent "hxxp://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=CAXX0417&u=c" | grep -e "Forecast:" -A 2 | tail -n 2 | sed -e 's/
//' -e 's/
//' | sed "s/\(.*\)\.\ \(.*\)/\1\?\2/" | tr "?" "\n" | sed "s/High\:\ \(.*\)\ Low\:\ \(.*\)/\?H\: \1\ L\:\ \2/" | sed "s/\?\(.*\)/\\1/"

Unfortunately the only one that works is the weather image, it shows the current weather (cloudy/rain) but no forecast. Sorry to keep bothering!!

Ok try these (if you haven't already): did you put the forecast script I sent in a separate shell? did you set the refresh (to say 300)?
hmmm it'll pop in a whatever the default font is, did you change the font so it's readible?

if those don't work, I can't really think of anything else off the top of my head, so just let me know what city and I'll try and build a working script for you!

I'll try the steps you gave me, and that working script would be awesome, in the likely event it will fail lol, i live in NYC.

hey try this (it wasn't working for me either actually at first)

paste into a new shell for today/tomorrow forecast:

curl --silent "hxxp://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USNY0996&u=f" | grep -e "Forecast:" -A 2 | tail -n 2 | sed -e 's/
//' -e 's/
//' | sed "s/\(.*\)\.\ \(.*\)/\1\?\2/" | tr "?" "\n" | sed "s/High\:\ \(.*\)\ Low\:\ \(.*\)/\?H\: \1\ L\:\ \2/" | sed "s/\?\(.*\)/\\1/"

I'm not sure if I posted the generic "feed" shell script, so if not, here it is (paste all below into a new shell script) - change the url (keep the quotes) to anything you want:

URL="[link] "
maxLength="500"
start="3"
end="9"

curl --silent "$URL" |
sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n//;ta' |
sed -e 's/
