Safari! *shakes fist*

Apple released the Safari 3 Public Beta today. It is the “SDK” for the iPhone. However, as a web browser, it’s crap.

Here we have a nice view of Safari completely ruining all the fonts: the ordinary text is too dark, and the monospaced text is far too light. The titlebar is centered, and I realize that’s a Mac thing, but it makes the title confusing and leaves a strange empty space on the left. The window can only be resized by dragging the lower right corner, and the rest of the window’s edge is just useless.

This just highlights that you can put “Preferences” under anything. Maybe I want to File my preferences? What if I want to View my preferences? I need some Help with preferences. Hey, does this Window have any preferences?

Here is the Safari preferences dialog (which apparently got cut off through some neat trick of layers). It is here to contrast against the bug report form:

Here’s the bug report form. This form pops out from the titlebar in the cool squishy Mac style, so why does preferences get a plain ole dialog instead of the usual Apple polish?

Note the inconsistency even with iTunes. iTunes doesn’t have anti-aliased menus, and it has a completely different scrollbar. Did two different teams design even the look and feel for these applications? I expected more consistency.

Bonus unfeatures: no five button mouse support, unfamiliar shortcut keys, no extensions, also:

Some neat things to check out: ctrl-f find is really awesome, textboxes are resizeable, you can drag a tab into a new window (with a nice animation), plus the obvious benefit of being able to develop Safari apps without actually needing a Mac.
