The installation of some other geeklets require that you replace a substring in their massive conglomeration of piped bash commands in order to make the results relevant to you.

Since GeekTool doesn't allow you to select multiple geeklets at once, moving this composite geeklet after all of it's components have been imported is more effort than I'm willing to exert. One geeklet (or what appeared to be one geeklet) was actually comprised of 6 disparate geeklets that had been laid out in a very particular way. Comfortable enough, in fact, that I started feeling friction. I found a lot of shared geeklets on the Geeklets page at .uk and remembered that Brett Terpstra had posted an unsolicited GeekTool showcase recently, so I took a look at both and installed a few geeklets from each.Īfter installing a few from the gallery at .uk and re-creating Terpstra's ' Top CPU Processes' and ' Top RAM Processes' monitors, I found myself pretty comfortable with the process of sharing, installing, and running geeklets. The first thing that I did was look for geeklets that I could use or that would inspire me to create my own. I've had a few spare cycles recently, so I've been messing around with GeekTool.
