Safari Customization: Anyone else do it yet?

Doesn't have a status bar!?

On the menu bar try clicking "view" then check "status bar".

Looks like he didn't fully explore it. It does have a status bar (not to mention the address bar shows the progress ) and the toolbar is customizable. I tried it and it seems to have trouble handling cookies. It's a beginning, but a poor one I think.

Poor beginning? That's just ludicrous. This thing rocks, it's fast has features Chimera doesn't the bloat that IE doesn't and renders pages the way they were meant to be.

I love it and it is the first browser to dethrown IE on my machine.

I agree, I think it is already a solid browser and will get even better. Remember it is only a beta.

Only a beta, and the first I have used to knock off IE - it rocks - can't wait for polished versions....

Tried it...It's fast, compact and neat. I like it.

How funny that this threadwas just posted, I was just about to start one .

Heres mine:

It is Safari with some new mods I did for SSChosenOS yesterday.

ChosenOS looking very nice!!! Thanks

Removing the metal look was the very first thing I did. Now I'm thinking about a NetPositive (BeOS' native browser) inspired button set.

Hey, thats funny, allmost scary , I posted this on the macaddict board just a few hours ago:


How did you manage to fix the buttons, any chance you could mail me the .nib bendik@infofab.no
Thanks

I'm using the "demetalized" version now, but it does need new buttons.

Brushed:


Clean:

That looks loads better. I tried altering the .nib in Interface builder, but I couldn't get the 'toolbar' (which it isn't) re-spaced correctly. any chance of posting the mod (icon tif's & altered .nib's If you are worried abut redistributing the entire app)

Update

I've been using and hacking it.... I like it!

Some Safari alterations... I've got an updated, color version!



Basically I just renamed the pressed and um "not-pressed" tif files.

Here's the link to remove the brushed:

Damn, glad the forum is back up.

I do like the brushed look. but white looks nice too. I like the browser but can't help using chimera with the Windows XP look and Max's XP OS theme... ;-)

How the heck can U stop Safari from underlining the links in a page. It stresses me out and I can't use it for that... ;-)

Just resize the buttons and nudge them around in photoshop until it looks right.

I noticed the alignment is all messed up on my first post, this looks better.


and hey this was kinda fun. (props to dazzla)


course I haven't done the other buttons yet.. it's messed up that they didn't use a "real" toolbar. The buttons are an odd size and that's probably why you have to edit 3 states for a complete change...

Edit the html4.css file in the Safari bundle. It's so nice getting rid of those damned dotted lines too.

Yah I relased a graphite version yesterday, and any one use Chimericon? well guess what, Safaricon is in the works and coming very soon

That's laughable, 13 of my most frequented websites look like absolute trash in Safari. I sent in all 13 as bug reports.

Other than that I'm 100% happy with it as a beta for Apple.

Can you give some examples...

A slightly different form of Safari customization: If anybody would like their new windows to open where the new ones were, rather than offset so that, if you use fullscreen browsing they're actually partially off the screen and every single time you open a window you have to drag it up and arrgh etc...
Then go to http://homepage.mac.com/castiglione/software.html for an APE module that makes turns off window cascading

Cool !! I hope it will also allow you to remove the brushed metal on the fly ( I don't like application enhancers ) and will allow you to make the address bar rounded just like the google serach bar, it looks so ugly now.

These are all nice mods and I can't wait for Safaricon. Any release date yet?

I'm the author of ChimerIcon and as you have read here, SafarIcon will be forthcoming. While I can release the application itself in a couple of days, I won't have time to work on icons. So if you guys have icon sets that you would like to see included in the initial release, please email them to me. Please include a name for the theme and the info you would like to see displayed. Check out ChimerIcon to see how this looks.

It would be cool if Max made some BBX Mercury X buttons for it.
I really hate the buttons it comes with.

BBX Safari!

Well I didn't want to wait for Max or William to make it, so I made my own from the graphics in the theme. It's not done yet but if it's ok with Max/William I'll make it downloadable.

Damn that looks cool, I hope you get a thumbs up from Boozo !

NetworkShadow got from BOTH Max and Billy Bart already. It's such a clean and simple design. I love BBX Mercury X.

Will all this be possible with Safaricon?

'textured' turned off, icons made bigger & respaced, Omniweb Icons (not for distribution as a safari set). I didn't put the rounded address bar in because it fouls up on square faveicons (like the one on this board).
Has anybody got a 'bug' icon that would match this?

I Haave created a bug doing this. The bookmarks window briefly appears when I first launch the app & genarate a new window. It's also at a different size and position.
Any body got a clue what I have inadvertently done?

Can CyberGreg please crop the length of his image. It realy messes up the formating of this thread & dosent show any additional info.

P.S. this shot also shows up the old widget's bug in the ChosenOS theme. The 'ghost' of the close widget appears behind the others in non-active windows.

hehe ya, I'm going to have it up for download once I'm done with it.
