Well not exactly. I converted the Mozilla based Phoenix browser into a Safari clone using the following tutorial.

Wow... what can I say, that looks very, very, ugly.

It's funny how people can make Windows XP themes for Mac OS X that look better than Windows XP itself, but the Mac themes on Windows are always so fugly.

its not propertioned right, but its a nice try, sure they'll make it better sooner or later or even better they switch

i dont think it looks all that bad man. in fact its pretty nice.

a little cleaning up and itll be nice and slick.

The cool thing about this browser (Phoenix) is that tabbed browsing does in fact work. Hopefully Apple will incorporate this feature in the final release of Safari.

it doesnt really look like this is going to happen. all the signs are currently pointing towards 'no'.

what WOULD be interesting is a variation on the bookmarks button that could be related to tabbed browsing. it amazes me how fast it goes back and forth. if apple could integrate something along those lines for a tab-like interface, it would be pretty sweet.

They also need to add a Home button to the toolbar in the final release.

There already is a Home button. Click on View in the menu bar (Between Edit and History), then click Home. It'll add a Home button to the toolbar.

Safari is going to capture browser market share

They even have a hack to identify Pheonix as Safari, now is IE marketshare going to shrink?

Nah these are just kiddy coders with nothing better to do then make one software look like the next.

I mean with all this time couldn't they hack microsoft or make a killer mac only game?

I knew that was a stupid question to ask, but I don't have Safari.

Is that Windows Media Player skinned to look like iTunes? And what's the deal with the dock? Is it an application?

it's funny how windows users bash the mac os and then build countless hacks and utilities to copy it's functionality to the Nth degree. but watch them drool in two weeks when konfabulator (http://www.konfabulator.com) is released.

The dock application is called y'z dock. It is in my opinion the best dock.
