I have tried the unofficial fix (changing the max bundle bit), but am unable to get PH to work with Sl.

Might someone know the secret to PH success or where I may have messed up?

Your comments most appreciated.

I just found my answer:

From the PH site: "As far as I know, PithHelmet (and more importantly SIMBL) is not compatible with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). Once I get a new Intel-based Mac with Snow Leopard, I'll look into it."

So unless some other enterprising soul comes up with a fix, the wait could be a very long time.

That's the downside of freeware. You start depending on it, but the for the developer, it's just a hobby, with no incentives to make it work.

If most freeware would jut charge $5, most people would pay.
This developer could buy himself a new Intel Mac to make sure it runs on an OS that has been announced years ago

Here's what I did to get PithHelmet to work in Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, it involves running Safari in 32-bit mode:

o Right-click on Safari.app
o Click "Get Info"
o Check the box that says "Open in 32-bit mode"
o Run Safari, and you should now get a SIMBL error. This means that PithHelmet is trying to load. Close Safari
o Edit the file "/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/PithHelmet.bundle/Contents/Info.plist" (After backing it up, of course!)
o Look for "<key>MaxBundleVersion</key>" down towards the bottom; now look at the next line. It's the <string> line.
o Change the number to 9999.9
o Save the file
o Start Safari. PithHelmet should now be running!

SafariBlock has just been updated with SL support.

The former has indeed been updated for SL, however you have to run Safari in 32-bit mode.

It didn't work for me, Back to Regular Leopard til Glims and Pithhelmet show up for Snow.

But the end result is the same...
