Geeklets

Actually a very good glet. I have a similar weather icon that it goes great with, Thanks.

i appreciate that, thank you.

Very good! Thanks for it.

Two fixes for the applescript:

1) This won't show the muted icon when you press the mute button, at least not on Lion, since "output volume" remains at the last non-muted volume value even if it's muted. So I added a check for "output muted".

2) If the PATH has spaces, the script will break. I enclosed it in " and '.

Here's my fix:

on run

set pathName to "'PATH'"

set volumeSettings to (get volume settings)

if (output muted of volumeSettings) then

set finalVolume to 1

else

set rawVolume to output volume of volumeSettings as integer

set finalVolume to rawVolume * 16 / 100 + 1 as integer

end if

do shell script ("cp " & pathName & "Images_White/" & finalVolume & ".png " & pathName & "/temp.png")

end run

Hey,

Thanks for this, it's a lovely little geeklet. I'm new to geek tool, so I have a question, in your instructions you suggest setting the refresh times as a minimum of 5s. Is there any reason for not setting it lower. Obviously faster refreshes will put more strain on the system, but is it actually a noticeable problem in this case?

Also, superCat's mod is nice for adding support for mute on Lion, but he has a small typo in that he missed a forward slash before Images_White in his shell script. So if anyone wants to use it it should read...

on run

set pathName to "'PATH'"

set volumeSettings to (get volume settings)

if (output muted of volumeSettings) then

set finalVolume to 1

else

set rawVolume to output volume of volumeSettings as integer

set finalVolume to rawVolume * 16 / 100 + 1 as integer

end if

do shell script ("cp " & pathName & "/Images_White/" & finalVolume & ".png " & pathName & "/temp.png")

end run

Actually, I left the leading slash out on purpose because in the instructions included with the original, the example given for the PATH already includes a trailing slash.

hey supercat, thank you so much for the correction. this was my first official geek tool script so i was sweating it out the whole process. ha

please let me know of any problems and if i can not answer your question i am sure these guys who have more experience can figure it out for you.

and also just a heads up, i have been getting a lot of requests for a multicolor version as well as releasing the PSD so that you all can edit it to your liking.

so i will be releasing that later today,

i'll update you when i do.

thanks again guys.

hey guys, you can grab the update here

Hey i was just wondering if there was a way for you to code a brightness indicator too. i found someone who had made a battery indicator and i'd like to have a brightness indicator to complete the set

This is fantastic! But, is it possible to get the code to get a circle CPU usage indicator? I've tried playing with the ones that are just text graphs, but I haven't been able to edit them the visual way that I want to....

Went perfect with my Desktop! Thanks! :)

Has anyone made this work as a CPU indicator

What's the point of the temp.png that is being filled into the image glet?

I have used a variation of this geeklet to indicate percentage of hard drive space that is used. That geeklets is included in my collection at:
