Wow..Nice!

If you don't mind, can you share the command for your clock? So that it show two forty-six instead of 2:46

I am new to Mac OS X.
How do you create those small folders with customized icon on the bottom right?

Thanks
*
It's just normal folders IINM. You can adjust the size of the folder and show how many items are in that folder by clicking show view option on the view tab on the top menu bar.

To change the icon, copy the icon you want, right click the folder and choose get info. Click on the current icon on the top left of the info window and press cmd+v. Note that not all file format can be used.

@ monked Are you sure you did the steps in my previous post? When I tick the show item info, all my hard disk including my externals showed how big it is and how much free spaces left. Try adjusting the grid spacing to the maximum.

One question here. Anyone know how to fix geektool time no accurate? Sometimes it moves slower. >.<
Have to manually go into the coding and press 'ENTER' without making changes.

Have you tried setting the refresh rate to 1?

Tried geektool and doesn't seem to work or me. Anybody kind enough to give me a guide? Even by downloading the geek let it just won't run for me.

Which part is not working? You have to be more specific if anyone is to help you. BTW, this is a tutorial video from youtube. I learned geektool from this vid. You should try searching from other vids too.
