Glanz, over at promote-opensource.org (http://www.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 (http://forum.microsuck.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000227) but I've gotten no replies. It involves some cool Mozilla hacks.
Enjoy!
;)

Oh and to those of you wondering who this mysterious Glanz character is, read his short bio over at extremetech.com (http://www.extremetech.com/author_bio/0,4004,a=1078,00.asp), where he has posted a number of tutorials.

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 (http://promote-opensource.org/myimages/moz.jpg). This is Mozilla on OS X, identifying itself as ThunderButt Extrapolator :D

LOL :D , 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 (http://smile.gif)
