Kevin Gerich's fancy widgets, while not entirely native widgets, are indeed a much more pleasing view than the Windows-like widgets that ship with Firefox. So Firefoxy is a cool way to install those widgets. In fact, Firefoxy inspired me to implement this feature into FireFix, which is my own little contribution to support Firefox. Shameless plug: If you want to regularly install the latest nightly of Firefox, check out FireFix, which does that automatically. It also has the option to automatically install the fancy widgets (no drag and drop required). FireFix can be checked out here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22854

No threadjacking intended - Reinhold
that really wasn't the intention. I even admitted that Firefoxy was the inspiration to add that feature myself. So kudos to the developer of Firefoxy. In fact, Firefoxy is a great utility if you use the official Firefox releases. But for those who like to update daily, FireFix may be the easier alternative. That's all I wanted to say. So if the developer of Firefoxy is offended by my comment, I apologize.Friday, February 25 2005 @ 04:46 PM PST

No one likes to see their app rendered obsolete, but there's no denying that this functionality is a great addition to FireFix. Keep up the good work :)Friday, February 25 2005 @ 08:31 PM PST

Nice threadjack! Firefix is a great tool for the nightly builds. I especially like it now that it automatically installs the fancy widgets.Reply to This
