So today I went looking for another way to get the weather on my desktop. One thing I didn’t like about it was the size and readability of the text in the picture the temperature-what I wanted most of the time-was kind of lost in all the other information. It worked fine, and I wrote a little description of how I did it back in July of last year. The picture was actually mostly text, giving the current conditions for my hometown.

Save the code below to a file (WeatherCurrent.php) and then create a shell command Geeklet with the command:Ĭhange the path variables to where you have your weather icons stored.įile://localhost/pathtofiles/Geeklets/Weather/CurrentCondition.png PHP Code #!/bin/bashĮcho & echo -System Information:- & echo Find time since last boot.
