Make sure you're using a fixed-width font like Courier

Here is the code for the calendar: cal_head=`cal | head -1`; cal_tail=`cal | tail -7`; today=`date "+%e"`; echo ""; echo "${cal_tail/${today}/\033[1;32­m${today}\033[0m}";

Quicksilver in the top left corner is the "Flashlight" interface (Preferences > Plugins > Flashlight Interface)

I put the calendar code in successfully, but today's date does not appear as yellow, it is the same color as the others. Did I mess something up?

how did you do the set up Automator?

hmm... Is it possible to refresh the link of your "Completed script"? (section Quicksilver)

I'm getting error: 404 :s

Tnx!

hi Soulphysics. Is it possible that your code for the calendar is incorrect?

It shows me that 10 september is on Friday, but it's on Saturday :s

Nice vid tho!

but how you project your whole calendar?
