@QVGA It certainly is windows @Nanu is using, the dock he's got is by using a proggy ObjectDock. Can also skin the entire Windows UI with another prog called WindowBlinds. Click here |

@Ryan: I don't know what ObjectDock is
It's a tweak to change the Windows desktop and make it looks like a Mac desktop
Check here
Is nice and very fast

Cool, will have to check it out. I'm using ObjectDock and WindowBlinds atm and personally dont find it particularly bloated, but may try that out if nice and fast |

You're welcome fatreg. That was my reaction too when I discovered geektool, it's brilliant!
Here are a couple of the scripts I've used so far:
Really difficult one to start off with
Uptime and load averages: uptime
These ones are for the time, date etc.
Date: date +%d
Month: date +%B
Day: date +%A
Time: date +"%I:%M"
Some ways to change the clock are:
Clock without the '0' in front of hours 1-9: date +%l:%M
AM/PM: date +"%p"
A 24-hour clock, with seconds: date '+%H:%M:%S'
A 24-hour clock, without seconds: date '+%H:%M'
This one is for a world-clock type entry, that'll display city name, time and date. This example is for London, to display any other city, you just need to substitute the following bits with ones that match the city you want: "England" "GMT" (substitute with e.g. GMT4 or GMT-4 etc.) and "London":
TZ=England/GMT date +"London: %I:%M %p - %D"
This one is for displaying weather info. For all of the below you'll need to go here http://m.wund.com/ to find your local weather station first.
For temperature:
curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/03772.html |sed -n '21p' | sed -e 's///g' | sed -e 's/
[The above script doesn't display the Celsius sign correctly, it just shows a "C". If this bothers you, you can use the below script as a workaround.]
curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/03772.html |sed -n '21p' | sed -e 's///g' | sed -e 's/
Then you can type
echo "C"
to display the C, and
echo "o"
to display the little o in front of the C, and resize it accordingly
For weather type (e.g. cloudy, showers etc.):
curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/03772.html | grep ' | ' | tail -6 | head -1 | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/
Let me know what you come up with.
Cheers
EDIT: Don't quite know what has happened. My post looks pretty weird... Some of it is randomly bold, and one bit has gone off to the right
