There is no any hidden tweak or third-part app to bring tabs back on top since Apple made some changes on its mechanism, so we have to do a hack job - using some of resources from Safari 4 Beta installer to get them back. It works without a hassle on my mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.1). This might only work with Mac, and please do it at your own risk!

Okay first, I assume that you are running Snow Leopard already, we need to get a) Safari 4 beta installer - no longer available from Apple, I don’t know if you still got a backup file (but you still can get it from my Dropbox), download and save it on your external drive. b) Pacifist - this little app will help us to unpack any .pkg file.

1) Go to your application folder, open Safari 4.0.3 final package contents (right click on its icon). 2) copy info.plist, version.plist, and useragents.plist from within resources folder to somewhere else.

3) Remove Safari 4.0.3 main app (cmd+delete!), please notice that do not remove it by using any uninstall app, it will probably remove the preferences file along with it. If so, it will restarts with a Safari 4 final interface.

4) Now using Pacifist to unpack Safari 4 beta installer, and extract the main app to your application folder, once again open its package contents (right click on it again). Copy info.plist, version.plist, and useragents.plist into it from wherever you saved earlier.

That’s it! So far I’m running it on my mac for over 40 hrs and everything work just perfect! I hope you guys enjoy this hack.

I’ve been receiving a lot of emails as regards to how I made those ‘chicklet’ images on my sidebar, is it comes natively from Wordpress or something? Well, I figured it worth a writeup [a five minutes walk-through] to sharing the good things, isn’t it?

Before we’re going to accomplished something like I did, you’ll need to download Asaph and make it work, it’s no hassle to set it up, give it a try.

Please note that Asaph isn’t a plugin for wordpress in anyway, it actually is a micro-blogging system but mainly focus on images like I introduced it before, they’re running separately on your server and never share a single database… which means that we need to figure another way out to cooking them. Originally, I was inspired by this recipe, it allows you to add display any rss feed on your blog by using Wordpress native function - wp_rss. Yeah!

Call It!

I assumed that your asaph is up and running, and you already bookmarked a few images, now you need to edit your wordpress theme template. The tricky part is that we’re going to use wp_rss to call asaph’s feed, here is the complete codes, you can add where you want the rss content to be displayed (your sidebar or any other page template):

<?php // Get RSS Feed
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
$rss = fetch_rss('your-asaph-feed‘);
$maxitems = 24;
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $maxitems);
?>
<ul>
<?php if (empty($items)) echo ‘<li>No items</li>’;
else
foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?>
<li><a href=’<?php echo $item['link']; ?>’>
<?php echo $item['description']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?></ul>

where fetch_rss replace it with your actual feed url and $maxitems means how many items that you wanted to show, you can change the value you like. That’s it. yeah, it’s that simple.

More tweaks

since it works now it’s time for styling it, within CSS tweaks you can give it a nice looking, show your magic. It will be great if use some lightboxed effect, personally I use fancybox to visualized it in a better way. good luck!

I’d like to give a big thank you to my friend benhero who is an amazing ruby code ninja, he helped me on the codes and took me out of the fire

Asaph is not a full blown blog and it does not aim to be one – it just does this one task, but it’s pretty good at it.

It comes with a bookmarklet, click-to-post function that you can easily drag it up to your brower’s (a real browser, not IE) bookmarks bar, within a few mouse clicking you’ll have your own collection to share with your friends.

Get it up and running will basically require PHP5 enabled on your own server, before to give it a try you can watch a five minutes screencast to see how it actually works, for more information and download, please check Asaph project’s page.

====================================

Thanks Smashing Magazine for featuring and publish Infinity theme for wordpress. As you might see that Infinity theme was actually based on my current theme layout, please visit Smashing Magazine for a quick preview and download.

Some guide you might need before using this theme:

Using Custom Field to custmize the post style

As Infinity theme requires to use the feature of Wordpress custom filed, here I will show you how to enable that magazine cover style by simple add key value to custom filed:

1) Once you’re about finishing your post and BEFORE you press ‘publish’ button, scroll down your page to Custom field, where you can enter a new keyword and value

Key: thumbnail
Value: enter your photo path
(you can either upload a image and copy its path directly or link to your flickr album. And for a better result, please sizing your photo to 235*150 pixels), then hit ‘Add Custom Field’ button, wordpress will save this field, and you can edit it at later. It’s that easy!

2) then publish it and go check the update you’ve just made, if everything goes fine, your frontpage will show thumbnail style covers.

I hope you all can enjoy this theme as much as I created, any comments and questions about this theme are always welcome, I’ll try my best to help you out. Since Smashing Magazine publish it yesterday, I already received over 70 emails concerns about this theme, I’ll reply to all of you asap.

After you join up with BoxedArt, all of your downloads are free, so you do not need to keep paying for designs, so it basically as good as a free template site from the perspective of cost, however all of their templates are designed by professionals only, and they are also validated designs, often enhanced with flash, logos, and more, giving you better choices than going with free templates.  What I like more is that BoxedArt also provides print templates for stuff like brochures, menus, t-shirts, as well as goodies like mascots and vector icons and dozens of other stuff to use in projects.

I chose to share this because I thought BoxedArt’s template offer is the most generous of any template site I found anywhere.  What is also very cool is that BoxedArt has limited edition and exclusive templates too, so from their site you could be the only person to use a design if that is important to you.
