How to make PithHelmet work for Safari 4 and later versions - nnager

PithHelmet worked fine with Safari 4.0.2 on my PowerMac G5 running OS 10.5.8. But Safari 4.0.3 rejects SIMBL even when I go back into the installer and make the change Tom suggested.

What worked in my case to get Safari 4 through 4.0.2 to accept PithHelmet was to do the following which was suggested by somebody earlier. Does anybody know if there is a different number than "5530.17" in step 9 that would make Safari 4.0.3 work with PithHelmet?:

1. Navigate to Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/PithHelmet.bundle/
2. Control-click on “PithHelmet.bundle
3. Select Show Contents
4. Navigate down to “info.plist”
5. Click on info.plist
6. That should open that file in Apple’s TextEdit application.
(if not, do a Command-I [get info] on the plist file and select TextEdit)
7. Edit the info.plist file with TextEdit
8. Do a Command-F to find MaxBundleVersion
9. below where it says <key>MaxBundleVersion</key> there's a number you should change to 5530.17 from whatever it was before.

Help, please?
