There are some decent themes but none that truly match Safari. Though if you wanted it to look like Safari, why not just use Safari?

There are some really good ones out there - like THESE
The problem is that they are made for Windows, and for some reason get screwed up when applied on OS X.

But if someone could just strip out the toolbar and tab-code, I'm sure it would work.

Some of them actually look pretty authentic - like these:



but as Nooon said, they don't play very well with OS X.

Yes those are ok. The best Mac ones out there, however I feel they are a little boring.

It's just plain wrong that there's a Siro skin for Windows and not for OS X... I always use Siro or Milk along with Firefox - does anyone know of any Mac Os X Firefox skins for these? I tried the Windows Siro skin, but, as noted, it was wacked (buttons incomplete, etc.). I'm useless at graphics or I'd do it myself.
