What is GeekTool ?
GeekTool is a System Preference module for MacOS 10.2/10.3, to display informations on your desktop background. You can display different kind of informations : System log files, unix commands output or picture you get from Internet. You can show almost every kind of information on your desktop, in a way it does not interfer with your work, since all elements are transparent to mouse clicks, and won't take the focus when you don't want it.
I started coding GeekTool because I found no tools that makes thing the way I wanted to, so I make it opensource. It is free of charge and you can modify the source code to suit your need. I'm just asking people to share their modifications if it can be usefull to others.
If you have administrative graphs you want to keep an eye to, or system log you feel better to watch ffrom time to time, or unix commands reporting information that should be available at any time, GeekTool is for you.
You can send me an email if you have any question or suggestion : GeekTool@tynsoe.org
