Pick a foreground color/opacity by clicking the green color well in the font palette.Change the size of the circle by adjusting the font size in the font panel.Install the ARC font (unzip and double click the font file).Add a shell Geeklet with the path to the script as the command.Make it executable ( chmod a+x ~/scripts/tmstatus.rb).For this Geeklet, I’m liking just having a little 50-pixel translucent white circle on a dark area of my desktop. Because it’s a font, it works at any size and with any foreground color. By the time you get to “Z,” it’s a full circle. The ARC font is basically a partial circle that gets more complete as you move through the alphabet, lowercase first, then uppercase. You can do the same using the script below along with the ARC font (it’s hard to find these days for some reason, so I’m hosting a copy here). I built a little Geeklet that creates a circular progress indicator on my Desktop. I wanted a better indicator of whether Time Machine was running and how much it had left to back up.
