GeekTool installs itself as a Preferences pane: once in place, launch the tool and you'll find three icons ready and waiting for you: File, Image and Shell. These Geeklets are then placed on your desktop where they can be easily customised in terms of appearance according to your individual whim. It's designed to let you create customised widgets – or “Geeklets” as GeekTool likes to call them – containing all kinds of information. If you're in the camp that finds it useful to scatter these tiny panes of information across your desktop, then the GeekTool will be up your street. Widgets: you either love 'em or hate 'em.
