Fluid App Introduction

Fluid is a remarkable tool for Mac OS X Leopard that enables you to convert web applications into desktop applications. With Fluid, you can run Gmail or Facebook directly from your Dock without the need to use a web browser.

How to Use Fluid

To take a web application onto your desktop, simply type in the application’s URL in Fluid's main window. Give it a name, indicate the hard drive directory where you want to save it, and select the icon you wish to use. It's that easy!

Supported Web Services

Not only can Gmail and Facebook have their own desktop versions, but Fluid also supports other popular web services such as FriendFeed, YouTube, Google Reader, Campfire, Flickr, Muxtape, Tumblr, Delicious, and.mac. This gives you the flexibility to access your favorite web apps in a desktop environment.

Adding to the Menu Bar

Use the 'Convert to extra SSB menu' function from the main menu on the application you have created to add it to the menu bar. This allows for quick and easy access to your web apps at any time.

Fluid truly revolutionizes the way you interact with web applications on your Mac. Say goodbye to multiple tabs and browser windows and enjoy a seamless desktop experience with your favorite web services.
