Safari tweaks

[Pantso]

Glanz, over at promote-opensource.org, provided me with two Safari hacks:

*Note* Before you start applying anything, make sure you have the latest version of the Developer Tools installed.

1 -> This will de-metallize Safari

Open up the Finder and go to /Applications/Safari. Do a Ctrl + Click on the Safari icon and you'll be presented with the "Show Package Contents" contextual menu. Navigate into Safari -> Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj Open Browser.nib; You will need the most recent MacOS X Developer Tools package to do this! In the window marked 'Broswer.nib,' select 'Window' and hit Shift-Command-I to bring up the Inspector. The last item in the Inspector is a checkbox labeled \"Textured Window.\" Uncheck that, save, and quit. Now start up your modified safari. Now it looks like it should!

2 -> To make very small fonts available on all sites

Copy & Paste the following lines of code into user/Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.Safari.plist :

<key>AppleAntiAliasingThreshold</key>  <integer>2</integer>  <key>AppleScreenAdvanceSizeThreshold</key>  <integer>2</integer>  <key>AppleSmoothFontsSizeThreshold</key>  <integer>2</integer>

That's about it. I've also started a thread here but I've gotten no replies. It involves some cool Mozilla hacks.

Enjoy!

Well at least he doesn't make me feel stupid for not being able to figure out Linux.

Oh come on, you're overreacting. I'm not a mathematician and I can figure out Linux just fine.

BTW, have a look at this pic. This is Mozilla on OS X, identifying itself as ThunderButt Extrapolator

  , I didn't mean it that way. You're more than simply smart and you know it. You can handle Linux fine and you know it
