I have updated and get the same problem, I also dont really know on how to put it on startup list, everytime i restart the machine, i have to manually on the geektool.

in startup list the first thing will be itunes helper with the mark

nont put the mark on the geektool just let it blank

cause the mark its for hide the program maybe will not startup the program

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question. I'm a new user to mac, what software do i use to customize my desktop? Is it difficult?

Most people are using geektool.. Its like the windows rainmeter... I didnt really go play with it but it should be simple.. Just follow some guides that can be found in the internet...

oh ok. i'll look into it soon after my exams. hopefully it's not as difficult at the windows software 'samurize'

hmm its quiet easy to learn actually

you can watch in youtube and follow the steps

yes very simple, i am still looking to show the laptop temperature using geektool, anyone found the command yet?

It wont be like samurize.... Actually samurize is quite easy as long as you are not the one customizing the codes... Haha..

@dlai Maybe you could get some info on youtube or google?

yes i've tried and so far cant find anything regarding the CPU temp etc

I know iStat can display your CPU temp and other system monitoring gauge... But you have to pay for it..

yes istat is in dashboard but i would like it on the desktop

Maybe you could try to find other widgets instead of using geektool? TRy looking at the below link
