A few months ago, all three weather scripts stopped working. I searched around for answers, which led me to various theories (see here and here) as to why the scripts no longer worked. Ultimately, the problem was due to a query change instituted by Yahoo! in its public API for retrieving weather conditions and forecasts.
Geek tool scripts weather image
After making the query change to the Python script (and finding my WOEID, which I did here), collecting a set of weather icons that I liked, and creating a new Bash wrapper script for handling weather images, the results on my desktop look like this:

Reply longh0rn Feb 10, 2012 I figured it out on MacThemes, just needed a different code for geektool Reply madcat75 Apr 25, 2012 by all means, dont share it here Reply longh0rn Apr 26, 2012 Haha Reply ratatty Aug 1, 2012 Ummm, how did you get it working Reply madcat75 Apr 26, 2012 real funny, keep laughing Reply Femmebott Dec 21, 2011 Hi I hate to be another Pain with the same problems youve been so amazingly kind to help everyone whos experiences the same issue Im also having at the moment.
Most of which Ive been able to correct myself and though I feel like Ive done everything to the letter I cant figure out why my the weather still will not come up The Geektool Icon that Displays the weather graphic just plays the png files like a slidshow and no actual useful information.
The Realfeel and the little graphic showing the current conditions use a ruby script by Ted Wise and, as with the overlay, I created a different image for each weather condition, using the default accuweather set as a guide. The script then simply copies the correct image to a pre-defined file and location, which you can then display as an image geeklet.
For one I stand corrected! Thank you for sharing your inspiring designs! I say inspiring because of the Guilty Crown mention & your desktop screenshot. My first thought was I wish the rest of the desktop (status-bar / dock / Wallpaper) was as advanced as the geektool geeklet! This got me working on a wallpaper and dock to match the geektool beauty. Then my iPhone got jealous! So then I started porting the mac theme to my iPhone! Then getting a geeklet working on it! Here is a screenshot of the alpha stages.
Geektool is an OSX system preference module that allows you to display information on your desktop. You can display shell, file or image output. I have used this prefpane to display load averages and process data in the past but now I just have it displaying weather info. Its handy for early morning or when a cold spell comes around. Give it a try if you use OSX and think you may have some data you would like to display on your desktop. An Expose Desktop corner and Geektool work nicely together for on the fly info.
The biggest advantage GeekTool offers over other similar tools is its passive nature; the desktop will still be usable real estate, in that you can place icons over any active scripts or Geeklets (like widgets), and interact with the desktop as you normally would.
You can instruct GeekTool to 'stay on top', so that it will always remain visible whatever you're doing. Be warned though that this is not a tool for beginners. GeekTool is pretty hard to work out for the first-time user and you're only hope is to use the GeekTool Wiki page to get up and running. There are no sample scripts or user scripts that you can test for yourself although there is a user forum if you get really stuck.
We will look at adding a clock and a basic calendar to your desktop. Once you have GeekTool installed, you will find it in System Preferences. We have three options for the type of tool to place on your desktop. File will be typically used when you download eeklets. Image can be used to have a dynamic picture updated from a URL (such as weather images) or rotate though a folder on your computer. Shell, which will be looking into with today, can be used with terminal commands.
GeekTool is an incredible tool that lets you put information on your wallpaper. It is not a tool for beginner users, since you must have some understanding of Unix and shell commands. Or you have to be very good at following tutorials and learning from them. What GeekTool basically does is let you put "Geeklets" on top of your wallpaper. There are three types of Geeklets: File, Image and Shell. The Shell mode lets you launch scripts or commands, Image mode lets you monitor bandwidth usage, CPU load, memory availability, etc. And the File mode lets you monitor log files or other types of files.
Adding this command isn't too hard, but what if you want more information? There are many complex commands you can find from around the web for the job, but I recommend tapping Nerdtool's web capabilities for this. Head to m.wund.com, the mobile version of the best weather site on the web, then find your city. Copy the URL, then add a web site using Nerdtool's menu:
Create scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text. Divide code into manageable sections that can be run independently. View output and visualizations next to the code that produced them. Enhance your code and results with formatted text, headings, images, and hyperlinks. Insert equations using the interactive editor or create them using LaTeX. Save code, results, and formatted text in a single executable document.
Although it's possible to use RPICameraGUI via an SSH connection, the RPi Cam Web Interface (RPCWI) software [2] makes a much better tool for the job. As the name suggests, this web application provides a user-friendly interface that lets you control practically all camera settings with a regular browser. Additionally, RPCWI offers several genuinely useful features that make it an ideal tool for working with the camera module. This includes the ability to preview, manage, and download saved photos and videos, support for time-lapse and scheduled shooting and recording, motion-triggered image capture, and much more.
From basic to exceedingly complex, the following is an assortment of very useful, powerful and fun Geeklets and scripts that can help you get started with GeekTool. From weather, power consumption and productiveness to social, music and Internet, there are plenty of great Geeklets to try and enjoy. Just remember not to use too many Geeklets at once; your RAM will thank you.
We all love our Macs, myself included, but I have to admit this one looks stunning. The Windows 8 Inspired Desktop takes amazing advantage of Geektool and arranges your desktop to look just like you have Windows 8. In the link below, hover over the image to see the different scrips used.
To activate a geeklet, drag it out of the System Preferences window to the desktop where you want it to live. When the plug-in is in place, the properties window will change to allow you to change its size and position, type in the commands you want the plug-in to run, select the image you want it to display, or specify the text you want it to show.
One note of warning: whatever geeklets and scripts you run, make sure to closely watch and appropriately set the refresh timer on your shell geeklets. If you set the refresh rate too low, you run the risk of letting GeekTool consume more system resources than you probably need to allow it. For things that only update every day or not at all, set the refresh rate appropriately high.
What would be cool would be to see how you could dynamically state today weather in both "Degrees" and also image. For instance, the Weather.com App on iPad. It shows today temperature and if its snowing, raining, sunny, dark, etc.
