I have a problem with the widgets. I did it the dashboard way cause I'm not a fan of Yahoo Widgets but whenever I open a window that is supposed to be over the top of the widgets, the widgets are always on top of every window, and it's really bugging me. Any help?

[drrobertoboogie97]

@drucejnr The widgets are at floating level. To change it to desktop level you need to download a menu bar app called Amnesty Widget Browser, that can do other things too.

[thomaskaufi]

[beefcake0354]

Nice desktop. Though I don't care much about how my desktop looks.

Cuz 90% of time I use computer, I open spreadsheet and web browser, both full screen and switching back and forth. So mostly I don't see my desktop anyway :)

[ownedufoo2]

Macs are for people who know jack shit about computers. Face it, mackies.

i would be really greatful if you reply!

Thanks!

[DavidChelloo]

@Tucky1471 just get MAC

[Ninjamikael]

is it possible to make it on windows?

[fancypenguins]

@Ninjamikael Instead of Geektool use rainmeter.

[james123428]

@Ninjamikael no

[Glitchy]

@Ninjamikael Look up a program called Rainmeter. Quite different, but does basically the same thing.

[RcSkyFlier]

@Ninjamikael nope you should my a MAC!!!!!!!!!!

[DILAWARR]

you are a beautitful girl

[Kiraa45]

how do you get the wallpaper if you dont have photoshop??

[ahm3d69]

You are soooo sexy! I luv it when u talk geek

[darkarcher1310]

I have a macbook with osx and a toshiba satelite L300 with vista. the mac is easier to use and looks so much better, but my windows computer is much faster, and you can actually play games on it.

It is nice not to have to run virus scans with the mac though

[almedinbubic]

can this be done using leopard XP BricoPack

[Maccadude33]

Interesting tutorial. I've been working with GeekTool a little myself, although I've been a bit stumped on installing an analog clock. I've also had trouble getting system process trackers installed, as SL doesn't want to play nice with the *nix commands I found.

On another note, think there's a way to take that LED Cinema Display image and get it to show information? That would be appealing. Good job, altho in the future, you may want to change your shirt. Just saying! Again, nice walkthrough.

[qpedolocoxxx]

eres demasiado linda!

[qpedolocoxxx]

jejejejej

[waterbender92katara]

thx u rock

[EnDZYm3]

Can I ask an honest question? It seems every time I ask, not even the biggest Mac enthusiast can give me a straight answer. Or worse, they quote that lame Apple slogan

"It just works."

Well, if it "just works," why does Apple continue to bash Microsoft in every advertisement? Is it because, if they didn't, their fanbase would feel insecure because they're such a small minority?

Please, fill me in. Somebody, anybody, give me a good reason to not hate Apple and it's elitist enthusiasts.

[SmartedPAnda]

They're direct competitors, Microsoft and Apple are both bashing each other. Like Intel and AMD awhile back when AMD stood a chance. Along with every car manufactor, and so on, it's competition.

Apple 'just works' due to the hardware, software and drivers especially are made for each other, awhile Acer, Dell, and HP aren't a unified company.

I don't believe in the motto of 'it just works' I'm currently struggling as a student programmer to adapt, but nonetheless it's very interesting. Win7 <3

[EnDZYm3]

Yes! I've finally got a decent answer!

Still not enough to make me convert though.

Why would I want to convert?

Well, I want to go to school for music production and engineering, and the school is going to force me into "the family." Same thing with any art school. They'll make you use a Mac as well.

I'm doomed.

[SmartedPAnda]

I use it because of the price, compared to other laptops with the same feature it's about the same price with the iPod and student discount.

AND ALSO, Google, among other new upcoming companies relating to IS/IT are using Apple products more and more.

I'm not saying it's great, but it's pretty decent.

You should also look up famous people who have used Apple products, Adam Savage of Mythbusters is a good one. =]

Love Windows 7 the most though, at least try Mac OSX.

[PieterKroon]

@EnDZYm3

Well, the ads are not for current Mac users, because they are already convinced, but it is for Windows users to make them understand that there is something else, maybe even better than Windows. Users are not likely to switch if they have the feeling that their current OS is good enough as well, so Apple has to make them feel that they are using a inferior OS, so that they will try Mac OS X out, and Apple will be able to gain a greater market share.

[jackies35]

@EnDZYm3 Apple doesn't bash Microsoft.... That's hype and rumors. Microsoft created and crashed all software manufacture that ever exist. Microsoft is used 90% in many if not most business. The unexplained and non-support of the Windows machine made people of all kind upset. The virus, crashing, and non support is the blame. Vista didn't help either!! Microsoft has billions of dollars! So, relax!! It's all advertising, competing, media hype! Get the machine that you like!

[009GTAs]

[Chaz2314]

how do you get the date and weather in the corner?

[p4r0xysm42]

Thank You So Much!!!! my background looks so cool now!

[TZcokehead]

1. This is extreme customization for the mac, Pfftt. That's nothing, you should see the customizations options for windows.

2. According to apple and all you die hard apple lovers the mac's OS made by apple are "better" then Pc's OS "Windows" because mac's never have any problems, HMMM nope "geektools dies on me at time,"

3. The only thing good about apple, is the MacBook Pro that they make. i would buy one top of the line, then RIP the Os-X out of the machine and nicely install Windows 7.

[silversceptile]

i think you can use any windows os in every macbook.

[TZcokehead]

Only in Os X somin like i donno what "the" Apple people named it, With boot camp yes but not the other way around such as Os X on a Pc because of Apples stupid security chip

[Jackskellington123]

GeekTool is a program that's made for Mac, however, it was not made by Apple.

[TZcokehead]

That's a really stupid argument, that means the what Apple/Mac is advertised for is the MacBook and it's Os-X to be flawless with no error with only the applications that come with it, the one's installed into the Os-X. By what you're saying, it means that Apple's "I'm a mac" Add is completely worthless and lying to the consumers. Microsoft's Os Win-Xp Win-Vista And Win-7 run with no error what so ever with the applications installed into the Os at Microsoft. Reply to that.

[Jackskellington123]

Listen, I don't want to start a fight. And obviously you like Windows computers more, I can respect that, I, personally, prefer Mac. And, I know that all computers crash, what most people mean when they say it has no problems, is it that it doesn't have all those viruses Windows computers have.

[TZcokehead]

Ok no fight here. Just discussion, and no the Add's are mainly on Apple's OsX having no issues. Not virus related. And what do you think the reason is that there are no viruses for Apple's OsX?

[MacDude96]

1. Hmm, Well if you say you can customize your PC any better please post a video response. I'm sure we all would love to see your amazing desktop. I'm not doubting that you can make a desktop just as nice as hers, because all the things she used (Ex: Widgets, Wallpaper, Photoshop) are all available for windows.

Continued...

[MacDude96]

2. Apple's OS is better then Window's OS. Geektool, which you gave as your only example, is a 3RD PARTY APPLICATION. Geektool is not fully supported by Apple, just iike any 3rd Party application is not fully supported on Windows.

3. I commend you for at least wanting an Apple computer. However I would have to say that you are a total and complete idiot for not wanting to have Mac OSX. You are evidently a person that trashes the Mac based on what you have seen and not off of what you've used

[TZcokehead]

1. I don't wanna make a video response.

1.1 i live in africa internet is shit.

1.2 I'm using windows 7 still in beta. donno how it would react

1.3 my triple booting with xp and vista both xp and vista have expired because i was stuck to win 7. it would take me hours to re-install.

2. What application made by microsoft such as an app by apple crashed?

3. Windows have app crashes because there are so many developers out there for windows, which compared to mac is at a massive majority.

C....

[TZcokehead]

4. i have used a make so don't make assumptions. and i found it horrible.

5. an app made by apple called Iphoto (correct me if i'm wrong) Crashed just because a few cache and original photo files were edited. it didn't give an sort of error or solution to help it just froze the mac had to be re-started to gain usability.

[TZcokehead]

Lmao whoops. Mac* Not Make. sorry.

[TZcokehead]

Btw i forgot completely that Windows 7 comes with an xp mode. Hmm Free. So i did a simple quick customization video. This is just a tiny bit of what can be done.

[kittycatgirl72]

when I have my weather from my dashboard on my desktop, it always shows up in front of my internet window. my calendar and clock do this too. is there a way to make it not do this?

[FastMacQuickTips]

My desktop is very dull and plain.

[mitch625]

I know my face is kinda in the way lol.

Your description is one of the most linked up ive seen haha.

But great video, you made it very easy to do.

[macintoshritchie]

Awesome video! Looks like a lot of work, but I personally just use bowtie.

[sillyclogger13]

thanks so much! very great video! thanks for your effort. what a great way to customize it. :D
