iMaurice Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I just realized that you can fix that problem by renaming/deleting the lucida grande ttf's in the Safari\Safari.resources folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Ingus Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The safari 3 beta is very, very fast... The fastest by now. Yes it's blazingly fast! We're on dial-up and it feels more like it's broadband Pages load in seconds instead of minutes. It's amazing how much more you enjoy the Internet when you don't have to wait for pages to load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotskip Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Runs perfectly fine for me on Vista and loads as fast as IE7/FF but.. I'd more less surprised if they announced they were selling MacOS stand-alone for PCs or that Steve Jobs announced he would stop being a lying whore. It's working mostly fine for me on Vista but it looks completely ugly/out of place. Some questions: - Where is the Home button ? - Can I turn off the Bookmarks bar like I can in FF ? - Is there an equivalent to the ctrl+enter shortcut which adds www. and .com to whatever is in the address bar ? - Why don't the extra buttons on my mouse work like they do in FF, IE7 and other apps ? - Is there a way to speed up scrolling or turn on some smooth scrolling type thing ? Anyway, I'm going to continue using FF, it looks better, has extensions, etc.. actually, IE7 also looks better, has extensions and so on too.

Alessandro17 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have tried it (OS X), but I still prefer Firefox (familiarity?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFI Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Apple is not going to make an OS X app look same/better and have equal functionalities under Windows, and Microsoft is not going to make a Windows app look same/better and have equal functionalities under OS X, thats a fact. You can't expect Safari 3 too look just as good under Windows like it does on OS X. The core frameworks are different, for one thing. Most of the apps on Windows look out of place. Microsoft's user interface guidelines are rarely ever followed by any windows developer. Safari 3 under Windows doesnt look any more out of place than iTunes under windows does.

robotskip Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Unlike people on here, on another forum they helped me with some of my questions so the bookmark bar is turned off, the home button is there and so on but there are still some major things that will keep FF/IE7/Opera as my preferred browsers. - I like how searching works/looks on sites, it looks really nice and is a lot better than how FF/IE7 handle it. - It loads Digg pages with hundreds of comments so much faster/better than FF which is depressing and in FF it causes the browser to hang/freak out. Edit: It's also way better than IE7 in loading 'big' pages. Oh shut up EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Ingus Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Apple is not going to make an OS X app look same/better and have equal functionalities under Windows So you're saying that Steve Jobs lied today?

Zealot Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Safari its a little sample for the fanboys who want to see some of the mac interface on a pc, but betwen you and me we all know that sucks when you compare it with almost any browser on the net. Sorry guys ,its just that Safari is not even near to be a good browser ,its like alpha or beta and im talking of the mac version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just improving. Don't tell me that IE 6 was "even near to be a good browser". And personally I don't find IE 7 a lot better. In any case I use Firefox across the board.

One or the other. So what I meant to say was if it has the featuers...it will not have the looks, and if it has the looks, it will not have the features...atleast to the same degree as the competing OS (OS X and Windows). It perhaps has the same features as on OS X, but it definately does not look the same as Safari on OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 About brushed metal: Safari 3's GUI styles are actually located within the app itself, or at least I think. Regardless of what skin you apply in Shapeshifter, Safari will look the same. I also noticed Apple "Pro apps," such as Aperture and Final Cut, do this. I'm convinced it's all self-contained within the app. When I load up Safari through the terminal, I get this: "Safari[509]: ShapeShifter could not initialize" Perhaps that means Safari is stopping Shapeshifter from loading the theme, and so is therefore reverting back to the default Aqua...?
