How to make Safari 4 Unified Appearance…

In last update, Apple introduced new specification of tabs to Safari 4.
Though I wanted to modify it, Xcode 2.5 in Mac OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger) could not open Browser.nib.
A brief struggle told me a good solution that I will tell you here.

  1) First, download Pierre Chatel's Unifier to remove metal appearance.
  2) Second, change files in /Safari.app/Contents/Resources/ as below.

Then you can enjoy the favorite appearance in brandnew Safari 4.


List of files to be modified in /Safari.app/Contents/Resources/ :
1. Face of active windows
