X-bytes: Personalize Safari


Since its introduction, Safari has created quite a stir. From Opera's threat to quit to Apple's victorious 1 million download march, the browser has made lots of new friends quickly.

For some, however, using the browser "as is" isn't enough. Whether that means simple interface customization or adding new features, here are a pair of utilities to make Safari yours.

SafarIcon 1.1.2 is a program for changing Safari's user interface by installing icons, as well as other application resources. SafarIcon ships bundled with a number of themed icons. Customizers can also download additional themes from Reinhold Penner (the author)'s website.

Pith from Black Tree is a program that makes browsing multiple windows a breeze in Safari by showing open windows in a floating palette. It also functions as a recall app that remembers what pages were visible when (gasp) Safari crashed.
