Combo Boxes in Safari and Firefox
Hmm I was seeing how my website renders on different browsers, namely- Safari
- Firefox on Mac
- Firefox on Windows
- Opera on Mac
- Opera on Windows
- Internet Explorer on Windows
I really like the combo-boxes produced by Safari. I think it uses the native Aqua UI to produce those, and do they look nice. Opera does produce native UI on the Mac, but Firefox doesn't. It would be really nice if we could get similar looking web UI on other platforms too.
Here is an image of a combo box on different browsers and platforms.

Opera produces a neat UI on windows too. Everything is plain on windows, but you can use something like windowblinds to make everything snazzier. Unfortunately that's going to make your already-slow 3GHz machine even slower. Heck, I'm waiting for longhorn so that I can get something close to the snazzy Aqua UI that everyone's talking about. Now if only I could find 8G of RAM too...
There is a cool app that transforms your Windows to a pseudo-mac. It overwrites (and saves) a lot of the windows dll's and replaces them back when you uninstall it. You might need object dock and konfabulator along with it, and its all MAC like then
