Safari tabs, can they be at the bottom?

Is there a way to get the Safari tabs at the bottom of the window? Rather than the top.

Been trying to set stuff... seems like you can't. Hmmm... maybe write a feedback... to customise the tabs, to the sides, bottom, whatever...

There is a way you can do it. If you have the Developer Tools installed, then do this:

- Browse to Safari.app in the Finder.
- right-click and select Show Package Contents
- Browse through Contents, Resources, English.lproj
- Open Browser.nib (it should open in Interface Builder.
- Choose the TabBarView and move it to the bottom of the window, holding Shift to keep it lined up correctly.
- Choose tools, Show Info
- In the Info window, use the drop-down to select the "Size" properties.
- Inside the Autosizing frame, click the bottom springy thing so it turns into a straight thing, and the top straight thing so it turns into a springy thing. (This will make sense when you see it)
- Save, restart Safari, and have a look.

(I have just worked this out myself. It is not yet tested. Try it with caution)

WARNING: Now that I've tested it, I've worked out the results of this are a little unpredictable. You will need to adjust the main-view of the browser or you will have blank space at the top, and possible interference between the browser view and the tabs at the bottom. Do it if you want, but it will need some fine tuning to get the positioning of the TabBarView and the Browser view in the right places. Otherwise, your tabs might get tangled up in your web pages!
