PithHelmet 2.8.4 (Mac OS X)

How to make PithHelmet work for Safari 4 and later versions  

Believe it or not, there is an incredibly easy way to get PithHelmet to work for Safari 4 (and presumably later versions). The way the program is set, it won't load on versions of Safari that come out after the last update because there could potentially be conflicts. So all you have to do to make it run again is to tell PithHelmet that Safari 4 came out before the last update. To do this: 1. Open Safari and click on the "Safari" menu at the top of the screen. Select the option "About Safari" 2. A window will pop up that will have something like "Safari 4.0.1 (5530.18)" Note the number in parenthesis without the decimals (in this case 5530). This is the build number. 3. Quit Safari. 4. Go to "/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/" 5. Right click on PithHelmet.bundle and choose "Show Package Contents" 6. Open the "Contents" folder that appears and open "Info.plist" in either TextEdit or Property List Editor 7. Look for the section called "MaxBundleVersion" which will be preceded by a number. If you have PithHelmet 2.8.4, it will say "5525" 8. Change this number to the build number you found earlier (e.g. 5530 if you're using Safari 4.0.1) 9. Save the file and relauch Safari. PithHelmet will now work just as it always has. I can't guarantee that there won't be any problems that might result from this, but so far I have yet to experience any issues. If you do run into problems, uninstall PithHelmet and send an e-mail to the developer saying that you love his product and would really appreciate it if he supported it for Safari 4. [alert admin]

Conflict with Safari 4: Dead Gutter Zone Bug  

After playing around a little bit with Free Ruler (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13607) to measure off 154 pixels, I was unable to reproduce that bug. I'm using Safari 4.0.2, Mac OS 10.5.7, and a Winter 2008 MacBook. Regardless, it's such an obscure bug that I'll probably never see and I don't think is worth uninstalling PithHelmet for. It's still working happily for me after following the instructions above.
