@rg0nzales - can you share the weather image geektool code? Thanks!

[rg0nzales]

Part 1 - Shell (To download the image)
curl --silent "http://weather.yahoo.com/philippines/national-capital-region/las-pi%C3%B1as-28348992/?unit=c" | grep "forecast-icon" | sed "s/.*background\:url(\'\(.*\)\')\;\ _background.*/\1/" | xargs curl --silent -o /Users/rg0nzales/Pictures/Weather/weather.png\

Part 2 - Image (To display the image)
file://localhost/Users/rg0nzales/Pictures/Weather/weather.png

Don't forget to change the directory in Part 1 to your desired image file location. Part 2 should point exactly to the saved image in Part 1.

Image won't download to the folder I want it to be. Can't proceed to Part 2

^^ A few posts back this happened to someone else. So I decided to delete the script and start anew with the weather image. At first the image was nowhere to be found. Let the script run for a while. May not be recommended to those with limited internet connections (or not connected all the time).



Try to download the image first manually from here and rename it as weather.png and put the file in the directory defined in the Part 1 of your script. Then point Part 2 to the image from Part 1. This is just to check if your image (once downloaded) would display accordingly.

Set the refresh rate of the shell script to at least every 60 seconds and the refresh rate of your image script to at least 10 seconds.

It works! Yo the man rg0nzales. Thanks!
