Screenshot of Firefox with Cocoa Widgets
For those of you who wanted a screenshot, here it is. You can make a fake one of these yourself by taking a screenshot of Camino and copying its content area into the content area of a Firefox screenshot :)

Woo! I am so glad I got to see the build in person! :) Good stuff!

Would you mind posting working links ?
Thanks

That looks stunning! :) Keep up the good work!

Very pretty. I haven't played with Camino, but I hope that they can be styled unlike Safari.

Wow! Finally! Good work. Can't wait for it to be working on an official version!

Oh, thanks for that. It looks much better than my replacement widgets for Firefox
(http://emps.l-c-n.com/articles/94/widgets-for-firefox). Of course.
Now I have to check my notes on problems I noticed in Camino.
BTW, a cool add-on would be preference: allow styling of form widgets: yes or no, like Opera 8 has).

I thought that Cairo was going to handle all the drawing of the widgets eventually ??
Is your work related to that or is your work going to be replaced by Cairo in the end ??

NIce stuff! Now be honest - these aren't faked are they??!

I'd love to see the Firefox on Linux use gtk+ widgets in the content area as well.

Maybe you don't care, or already know, but comparing this screenshot side by side with safari shows that safari's dropdown widgets are definitely a little bit narrower than the ones in your screenshot. Maybe those are Safari specific or something, since Camino doesn't use the narrow ones either.

Mitch, Josh answered that question in his previous blog entry: after Fx 1.1 ships. But he'll post a one-off build once there's a menu bar :-)
Josh, nice work. One day I'll no longer have to gouge my eyes out opening Fx to check whether a bug is Camino-only or Core :-)

The screen shot got me to finally get around to compiling a build myself. fun. quirky too. It's nice to see the mac version finally get a bit more attention.

Cant wait to get Cocoa widgets in Firefox.
They looks SO much better that the current ones. :)

Josh, will this work just like current calls to system widgets (using the -moz-apearance tags)? or will theming still have to be divided between the two OS's?
Thanks,
Anders

Will inline spell check work? It doesn't seem to in Camino...

Wow, a Firefox build that looks like a Mac application. I might actually reinstall Firefox on my Mac once it stops being such a poor Mac application.

When will someone complete / write-anew a port of Firefox in Qt? Wouldn't it then automatically be portable across Win/Mac/Linux?
Think about it ff devs!

why use the 'LARGEST' widget size? This looks hideous on a PowerBook and why is the font inside also the size of the sytem font?
Please change to Smallest Size widget, font size 9.

I hate those 'lickable' OS X buttons. Firefox should stay with the standard buttons.
