Just make sure all text is inside double-quotes, and all variables (e.g. The second part of the command is awk which rearranges the output. The Disk Identifier property is near the top of the info window. Just click on the hard drive in the list on the left and choose Get Info. You can find out what yours is Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities). ' disk0s2' is the identifier for the hard drive. Just add this into GeekTool in the same way as usual.

Create a new entry, and change the type from File to Shell.

To display this information, just open up System Preferences and click on GeekTool ( download it first if you haven't already). This is useful if you have loads of the same model, or if you often remotely control other Macs. It is possible to use shell commands in GeekTool to display the computer name, operating system version, the amount of RAM and the processor details. I've recently started using GeekTool a lot, and since I posted tips for displaying iCal events and Tweets on the desktop, I've found a few more cool things you can do. Let us know in the comments if there are any other preference panes that you swear by.

Secrets for tweaking all those hidden settings.

GeekTool for displaying data on the desktop.

DivX, Flip4Mac and Perian for video formats (Perian is probably the most useful).

Just like if you were Trashing the file, System Preferences will ask you for your administrator password when removing preference panes for all users.ДЄfter a bit of a clean out, IвЂ™ve managed to cut down to just the preference panes I actually need. ItвЂ™s much quicker just to do it straight from System Preferences. Depending on which you chose, the file could be located in the Library folder in Macintosh HD or the Library folder in your user folder. the ones that appear in the вЂњOtherвЂќ section.Д®ven though you can just Trash the preference pane file yourself, this is quite a good timesaver if you canвЂ™t remember if you installed the preference pane for all users or just your user. Of course this only works on the preference panes that you have installed yourself, i.e. You can quickly remove preference panes from System Preferences by right-clicking (or Control-clicking) on them and choosing remove preference pane. Fitting all that functionality in the desktop, means I have to switch between safari and desktop view, and that loses the ability of me to see the information I need in Safari, or photoshop, etc., if the application window is taken away from view so I can see the desktop.HereвЂ™s a trick that I just learnt. If I'm in safari, I can still see it under my dashboard (if you look at my screen shot and see how the widgets are arranged with the centre space clear for me to see the active window underneath. So if I want to quickly search, or check a reference, I just throw my mouse to the top left corner and I can get access to calculator, translation, conversion widget, and dictionary/thesaurus. However, the Dashboard has one advantage over geeklets, is once activated they hover over the active window I was in. Geeklets have their place, and I agree with you totally about why they're great.

What I mean is that it's hard to gauge the general use of Dashboard when the anti-dashers need to shit all over every Dashboard thread that comes up on this forum. Dashboard (like Launchpad) does bring out the nasty in people for some reason, because for whatever reason, the people who don't like Dashboard or Launchpad need to make it a point they hate it, and they don't use it, and therefore no one else should ever use it. I don't know how true it is that 'no one is really using it'. Geeklets usefully and beautifully provide additional functionality - there is, however, a learning curve. Each geeklet element - color, size, font, font shadow, etc, etc - they can all be completely controlled by the user so that they seamlessly become part of the desktop.

No one is really using it, and lots of really great widgets are just dying - like RadarInMotion - I'm studying the atmospheric sciences so it's been super handy, but as things change 'net side, the dev is just letting it go, reducing this once fantastic widget into a half broken toy :-/ДЄlso, unlike the times of Konfabulator and its ilk (yahoo widgets now?), Geektool doesn't widget up/clutter the desktop - it imbeds itself, becomes part of the desktop. The problem with Dashboard is that it is languishing.
