Safari 4 Beta + Webkit Nightly

Here are a couple of pictures of the nightly webkit build after having installed Safari 4 Beta -
webkit-safari4

webkit-topsites-safari4

Notice the Safari 4 top tab browsing and debugging button. Also, the top-sites and ‘cover flow’ history navigation all appear intact as well. I guess Safari is the window dressing to Webkit’s browser engine.

It took a few moments to get used to the eye-candy features like top-sites but I am settling into it and definitely like the top tab positioning.

    “I guess Safari is the window dressing to Webkit’s browser engine.”

    WebKit.app packages the nightly-build of the webkit frameworks, but most other resources are all taken from the Safari.app application package.
    If you look inside the WebKit.app package for instance, you’ll notice that it doesn’t contain any .nib files.

    Im new to the nightly builds and just wondering, I have safari 4 installed, if I install the nightly build it just changes the internal workings but everything looks the same as far as the browser, is this correct?
