Prism vs Fluid: Local Web Application Management on Mac OS X

Started by joshkim · 9 months ago

Basically it boils down to: Don’t use Prism. Yet. It crashes quite often, and not in the way you’d probably want it to crash: It just eats away at your processor until you realize that while you were listening to music on your headphones that the fans were going insane ... Continue reading »

    Is there any particular trick to getting GMail to display the unread count? I've got GreaseKit installed, but am not quite sure where to go next.

    Hey Jim,


    You shouldn't feel like a fool. It took me a few minutes to have Fluid working correctly with the unread count in GMail. I would guess that Fluid.app checks the title of the window for the GMail application to have it show the unread count, but I'm not certain.


    I've never heard of GreaseKit before, but thanks for bringing to my attention. You don't need it for Prism to work, but I really didn't know that there was a similar scripting plugin for Safari (Safari:GreaseKit::FireFox:GreaseMonkey).

    Actually, when I removed my GreaseKit installation, it stopped working. I added it back again, and it started. Do you have any other plugins (Stand, etc.) that might be enabling it?

    Interesting. I just have the most vanilla version of Safari... This poking around would be much easier if it was open sourced.

    The problem with your opinion on not using Prism is that us PC users are STUCK with Prism. The creator of Fluid put no thought into other people, and he just put it in for Mac OS X. So you're basically telling PC users not to create site-specific browsers.

    Now, I don't really know any other solutions on Windows, but I'm sure Prism has gotten better. I also don't know for Linux users, since Fluid is indeed Mac OS X only.

    Prism IS available for Linux I believe, I didn't pay attention cuz Mozilla Labs does practically everything for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
