[Danceallnightbabe]

Using spaces, can you have different desktops?

[AppleForums]

Codes:

Clock - Custom geektools typography

Day of week - date +%A

Month - date +%B

Date - date +%d

Time - date +"%I:%M"

AM/PM - date +"%p"

Enjoy! :)

My entries are great except they do not stay on the desktop. What should I be doing to avoid that from happening?

[rmdm3525]

Problem - I get the desktop set up with multiple entries using your tutorial. However, the text and pic does not stay on the desktop?? What am I missing to do??

[jabbeXD]

[thebob7255]

[bakari45]

Thanks for providing a link to the scripts. Yours is the best tutorial I’ve viewed out of three so far.

[Iamshort435]

Thank you so much, i was so clueless about this tool :P

[guidogc90]

the  Scripts doesnt WOOOOORK please Help :(

[Macfan189]

@guidogc90 Make sure to click "Enable" on the right hand side of Geektool.

[thebob7255]

@guidogc90 no what i did i thought that they done work but they do u need to copy the word date or what ever it is so not just the # and simbles

so - it says Day of week - date +%A u need to copy the date and the +%A

so what u copy is date +%A and then it should work and do the same for the other ones lol hope i made helped

[Macfan189]

There is now a link in the side.

[TFDgohan]

[hallbe]

Very helpful! Thanks for leading me here!!

One question though...How do you get the time to stay current with out having to hit refresh all the time?

[Macfan189]

In the box where it says "Refresh Every ___ Seconds", fill the blank in with a 1. ;)

[hallbe]

Ha ha! Thanks! I knew there had to be an easy...obvious answer! ;-)

[barneylam]

where is the command part. it doesnt exist in my menu.

[Macfan189]

You need to drag the icon that says "Shell" onto the desktop.
