GrApple themes bring Safari's UI touches to Firefox

does anyone kno of a good safari theme for windows?!?

I used Yummy (blue) for about a day, then switched to Delicious (blue) instead. Its not _exactly_ like Safari but then I suppose I don't need it to be.

My main requirements for FF3 were (1) to get rid of the new FF3 theme (which I hate!) and (2) to have a "themed" FF3 that would look and feel more like a Mac app. Delicious (blue) delivers on both counts.

Frankly, as a long-time FF2 user I find so many little things about Safari maddening, but the dealbreaker is that Safari doesn't have FlashBlock or AdBlockPlus with EasyElement+EasyList. I can see why Safari users might not like FF3, with or without the GrApple themes. I just don't personally understand why anyone would find the Safari UI that preferable or the lack of quality add-ons tolerable. That doesn't make Safari bad, its just not for me.

I still don't understand why Firefox has a reload and stop button. It's like having Play and Pause and separate buttons on an MP3 player. Couldn't they take a hint from Safari?

umm, instead of making FF _look_ like safari, i'll just stick with safari.

These themes have always been first-rate. I've been using Yummy since FF beta 3.

Note that (for me, anyway) the graphite theme does NOT change the window widgets -- you need to change your OS Appearance to Graphite for that.

However, even in OS Blue, the Graphite theme changes some highlight colors to graphite, which is nice. I also have Fission installed, so I get a graphite progress bar too.

Sure the basics are in place but the attention to detail is weak, still feels like a theme for a windows app trying to look like their interpretation of OS X.

And why do the right click menus and combo boxes look nothing like OS X?
I mean they looked out of place in Tiger because the spacing and fonts were all wrong, now they look even worse against leopard.

Yes, this is useless in a couple of hours :)

Still, I think that Safari has better RSS management and bookmarking (except for the tags feature in FF3), and when Safari 4 comes out with SquirrelFish it really will kick ass!

ooooh... pretty... adding this makes firefox not make me want to vomit.

While on the topic of fitting the Firefox UI to the mac—I ran across this the other day (from Daring Fireball): http://www.sanneblad.se/johan/?p=180

While a bit nit-picky, it does a good job of expressing why Firefox 3 just didn't feel right when I first started using it, mainly the gradient that Firefox uses.

But TUAW.com should be patched for coming FF3. There is a big problem with fixed background image under Windows - scrolling is soooooooooooo slow there. Seems to be a bug which is not yet solved but known.
