    So I was fiddling around with Geektool and looking for different ways to use it and came across an article that says how to make a To Do list that appears on your desktop. The article is here. Anyway, I can't get it to work right. Like the list appears initially but won't update when I update the txt file. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I've noticed that some older scripts do not work with the newer geektool.

    Yeah, the article did use an older version but this doesn't use a script, it just used the file selection on Geektool... I would think Geektool should still be able to use a text file but I might be wrong...
