SafariSkin has been released... Is this any improvement to that other Safari theme switcher?

It's a shame you can't tell the app where to look for your Safari application. Not everyone keeps Safari.app in /Applications, like it wants. Mine, however, is in /Applications/Net... Looks like this app does need some improvement. All well

It looked a lot more promising than Safarimask just because it would actually load my themes but when I press Install it doesnt do anything except change the background color for the progress and search areas...?

Is it working for others? If so I will go ahead and release the Chosen themes for Safari for SafariSKiin.

I guess that SafariSkin is the best icon swapper around right now. It seems that every couple of hours a new Safari tool is added to VersionTracker. How many apps do we need to have Safari become aquafied or remove underlined links? At least they are free!

Apps that modify others that require fees (even shareware) are pathetic! Donationware, iMO, is alright, however.

LiquidityX and swiz, I'll try to contact you guys about your skins.

mrbiggy, I've fixed your problem over here but there is still more testing to be done before I can release it.

That's cool, but too bad Safaricon has you beat. Good luck

IMO SafarIcon is much more polished than yours... I do like how yours is more minamalistic, however.

Consider making a progress bar showing the status of the change, and also a confirmation of install of the theme.

Your app is definitely much faster I must say. (Probably due the fact that SafarIcon is built in AppleScript Studio.

My application uses the UNIX tool CP. The changes are insant. Any progress bar would be pretty useless.

Anyway, I'm basically looking for feature requests (besides more skins, which I am working on)

#12 Sun, 19 Jan 2003 - 20:59

Ok, well how about a confirmation dialog then?

(I was going to point out, originally, that a progress bar might not be needed because the change is pretty much instant, but I thought I'd let you decide instead.)
