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!
