Gorgeous, Mac-centric Firefox themes
Merlin Mann | Feb 6 2006
GrApple - Aronnax`s Firefox Themes Dang, these Mac-o-phillic Firefox themes are yummy. I've actually been using "GrApple Eos Pro" for some time now, but I'd never realized just how many subtle variations were available. I'm not sure if it's just a Mac thing -- or even whether it's necessarily always a good thing -- but I really believe the chance of a product's wider adoption amongst Mac users is greatly enhanced when it looks like something we're used to using. Thanks to the broad range of talented hands contributing to open source projects these days, we're starting to see more top-notch work like this from people like Aronnax; stuff that keep us snooty 5ish% very happy and visually dazzled. Good on you. (And a tip of the Mac to Jon for supplying their hosting and cool domain name.) 17 Comments

But personal preferences aside, I can only double that Firefox, although I love it on Windows (I use Firefox exclusively when I'm stranded on a Windows box) really blows hard on OS X. And it's slow on OS X, too. It doesn't live up to the hype at all on OS X. The same counts for Thunderbird BTW. So I end up using Safari most of the time (including Safari developer extensions, and the widget thingy in the nightly build of WebKit is also really cool). And for stuff that doesn't work on Safari I use Camino. » POSTED IN:
