The pwnage of Microsoft.

Thanks to the Darwine project.

This is the third version I've used, and they get more functionality each time. First time, it didn't even open, second time, it crashed loading fonts, third time, it works great. Note, this one will only run PowerPC binaries, if you have any WinTel binaries they must be recompiled with WineLib, which can be obtained using the SDK. I had issues with the SDK installer, but used Pacifist to install it manually. Just extract the stuff with /usr and /Library prefix.

It looks like ass.  Of course, one would expect that...but this is truly ugly.  I'd rather use the Minesweeper Dashboard widget.

It is pretty ugly, since it's Win9x looking stuff on OS X. It looks like running Gaim on OS X...

BTW, if you install the font "Marlett", you'll get all the Windows symbols, including the caption bar buttons.

They're working on a Quartz driver, good thing because the whole "Win95 on X11" is horrible. Now to go run some open source windows stuff.

What's wrong with that?  I personally think gtk2 looks very cool in OSX.  I have Gimp installed, and it runs through Apple X11, and it looks bad ass.  The reason I mention this is that gaim is gtk too, unless you tried to run a Windows port.

Yeah but the GTK+ runtime is on Windows too, so it probably just runs that.

 Clarification from a mixed-breed sysop: winGaim uses GTK, too... :cool:

No.

 That's not entirely accurate - it's possible, but it involves running the installer each time you want to change the Gaim theme.  Why would I want to go through that for a skin?

Who cares about the skin? I really don't give a damn how Firefox looks, as long as it works.

Or just use Camino.
My brother uses Firefox on his Mac, I must try Camino on it some day. It looks nice.

EDIT: Using it now. It's alright.

 Oh wow, I was following the whole "Gaim" thread, not the "DarWINE" thread.
Sorry for the confusion.  ;)

I just loaded this, failed to work at all.  Even the pre-built sample stuff they give you failed - it kept looking for libraries in /tmp, which is not where they are.
