Red-hot Git repository hosting site, github, has added Fluid support via the Fluid JavaScript API for dock menu items, a tutorial on how to use the Thumbnail Plug-in for coverflow browsing of past commits, and a snazzy new Fluid icon.

Um… WOW. The oh-so-stylish gang over at Fling Media (whom you might remember for their neato iPhone web apps Leaflets) have developed a CSS Stylesheet for Fluid Google Reader SSBs that mimics the UI of the popular Mac news reader NewsFire. The stylesheet makes Google Reader look fantastic in Fluid. Also, using Fluid’s Userscripting support, the stylesheet is a simple one-click install! Great job Brian! Be sure to check this out.

Hi,
I was trying to make a version of Safari for testing Flex apps when built from TextMate but it seems that Fluid.app does not run .swf (flash) files, even when a .swf file is dragged on to an open Fluid window. Does it not support Flash? I have the “Enable Plugins” box checked in the Preference window but they do not display in the browser window.
Flash support would be a great addition, this way I don’t have to launch Safari (and all me previously opened windows) while doing Flex development (or web design testing).
Thanks!

I’m trying to create a Fluid.app of the great Light-bot game (which is a Flash game) too, but can’t seem to make it work. Fluid.app just loads a blank page no matter what I do.
